Screw-driver question 15:32 - Dec 22 with 2096 views | Sharkey | I wonder if anyone here could help me. Is there a name for a slotted/flat screw-driver that has a notch cut out of the middle of its blade, so that you can unscrew around a pin that is in the middle of the slot of the bolt? |  | | |  |

Ooh that looks promising. I want you to do well here. It'll be good for your overall development. (Although it might be of some use if Sharky showed actually some interest in his own sodding thread). |  |

You missed the chance there to say, "It's a snake-eye, pig-nose!" Unforgivable. |  |

Having just read it back to myself again I'm not sure that's entirely your fault. |  |

If need something like this I have a set you can borrow. I'm in Kesgrave if that's any help. |  | |  |

You just need to cut a notch out of a standard flat head screwdriver with a file or hacksaw. |  | |  |

Thankyou, that's what I had in mind. Without knowing what they were called, i couldn't google it to get a picture, so it was kind of Catch 22. I'm not the district, but thanks for the kind offer. Meanwhile, I'm going to try Eireannach's suggestion. I tried before, but the screwdriver I had was harder than the blade of the hack-saw I think, so I'll try to get hold of a cheap screwdriver, and Eireannach's post reassures me I was on track. Thanks everyone for your input. I don't know how I could have described things more clearly in my OP, but now I'm happy to have both the short-term solution and the longer-term pig-nose one.

You could cut the groove with an angle grinder, if you have one of course. |  | |  |
