Members Narcosynthesis Posted September 23, 2005 Members Share Posted September 23, 2005 for pedals and so on virtually everything is phillips on a motorbike, i dunno, everything on a mountain bike is allen keys (or hex keys if you prefer) so motorbikes may use those best bet would be to buy a kit with a range of types/sizes, then you at least have them around when you need, even if you usually stick to a couple if you are building yourself, torx is a great idea though, with mountain bikes ta least, i have heard of entrepreneuring theives nicking some of the parts off a locked bike for selling on, and as allen keys are the standard they can get off with a set of them, torx is pretty rare so a lot safer David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hookstrapped Posted September 23, 2005 Members Share Posted September 23, 2005 Originally posted by moonhead vise grips...usually for me, sooner or later I agree. Neither flat-head or phillips are up to the demands of home dentistry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaSkip Posted September 23, 2005 Members Share Posted September 23, 2005 I know a good screw, it runs straight in the hole, bottoms out and forms a tight bond between the mating surfaces. When screwing in a slot, one can slip out by accident. Sometimes resulting in damage to neighboring areas and or the tool being used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fast Frets Posted September 24, 2005 Members Share Posted September 24, 2005 How many pedals do you have? And you expect to get by with only one screwdriver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rocksnob Posted September 24, 2005 Members Share Posted September 24, 2005 Robertson head. Robertsons are my favourite, they don't strip as easy (and when they do, you can usually use a starhead to get it out), and they are so much easier to get startedkeep in. That or AVSAFE, now that's what I call a screw (bolt I suppose), flat-topped, chromed, and if you don't have the specialized driver, you can't insert or take one out. Very nice for finishing screw I think, they leave a nice clean look, that or if you don't want some punk ass removing that screw, well, they'd have to own the rather obscure driver to get it off.

Members attic Posted January 3, 2008 Members Share Posted January 3, 2008 Just get a screwdriver that is both a phillips and a flathead. Too complex. Reminds me of this guy who wanted a nice distortion sound, so he bought a 2000 dollar rack. He uses exactly 3 buttons on the thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
