Allen key screws – tamper proof ?

[nomadPaul]

Hi lads , been to a Technik microwave where some of the casing screws seem to be 2.5mm allen headed screws that have a raised ‘pip’ in the centre. I’ve been reliably informed that they’re classed as tamper proof but does anyone know where i might find the correct bit to remove these screws ?

Regards

Paul

Cheers lads…once i found out what they were called i found a draper set on screwfix for a fiver. I know they’re not going to be top quality but i’ll probably only use them the once….and i can claim the money back anyway.
Stupid bloody things……….its the only appliance that i’ve ever seen them on.

Seen them on Zanussi washers. 😉

Since Allen keys fit torx would torx (with hole) not fit Allen sockets?
As for Zanussi washers, had a bearing job on an AEG the other day and everything’s going fine till I find the 6mm Allen socket countersunk pulley bolt 👿 . Hadn’t gone prepared for that. Punched it loose in the end though.
