Tamperproof wrenches
« on: January 11, 2003, 01:10:38 am »
Does anyone know of any hardwareshops that sell tamperproof wrenches?  I just aquired a Hang-on game and I am itching to take it apart but I cant.

You may have luck at hardware stores, but you can also pick them up cheap from Bob Roberts & eBay.

What type of tamper resistant screws are you working with (torx, hex, etc.)?

Is this what you're looking for?


I picked one up from Bob Roberts.  It's the first item listed on the following page, it has come in real handy:

Most auto parts stores will stock security or tamper resistant Torx bits.  They're used a lot in carbuerators from what I hear.  

When I was shopping around, I checked several hardware stores (including big chains like Ace, Home Depot and Lowes) and none of them had them.  AutoZone was where I evetually got mine.

T20 is the size most often used in cabinets.
Side Arms, Slam Dunk, Xybots, Arachnid Galaxy darts, Pac Man Plus, Dr. Who, Gauntlet, Centipede cocktail, Hyperball, Tempest, Star Wars, Xevious, Super Hang On, S.T.U.N. Runner, Galaga, Space Duel.
