Hi,

Trying to repair a kids plastic toy.
Like most, it is held together by really small tapered screws.
Screws have a pointed tip.

But these are a bit different.

Most of the toys I've worked on, (my Grandson is not the most gentle)
have screw heads for the screws like this that have a small indent for a
Phillips head screwdriver. Usually one of the Jewelers types that comes
in those kits. Pretty small; maybe a mm or two.

But, easy to find a Phillips from these kits that works.

These seem to be different.

They appear to have a triangular indentation in the head.
Obviously not for a Phillips.

Anyone ever run across any like this with a "triangular" indent in the
head ?
Do they sell small screwdrivers for these ?
What are they called ?

Thanks,
Bob
Triangle screw driver, of course you can buy them. Diffferent sizes.

Apple uses tri-point bits for the battery in some of its Macbooks.
Different from tri-wing. That may be what is used on the toy.

Available in this set:

In the HF 100 piece bit set they have very large tri-point bits, but
those are not the ones you need for the toy.
