/diy/ - Do It Yourself

If someone creates a style of security screw, they also create bits for them. And if someone creates both, there will be chink knockoff versions.
If you want to go Pokemon and collect them all, have fun.

iFixit sells bit sets that cover a wide gambit of what you'll encounter getting into consumer electronics. I've used my set often for fixing toys as well.

>>2792362
All of them are defeated with a drill or one of those dollar store fingernail/dog claw rotary dremmel-like files with 2 AA cells in it.
When will people learn.

I already have the Manta Kit, but it has noticeable gaps such as:
1/16, 5/64, 3/32, and 7/64 hex bits
Among many others

They should release an even larger kit, but I want to avoid duplicates

>>2792379
Ok, yeah, I did think so, drill bit and spanner bit for recessed heads, dremel for accessible heads

But what if you have, say, an M1.0 screw, in a recess? You'd be fucked

That and the manufacturer does not deserve my transparency

>>2792381
Use the one with holes in it for those Allen sizes

The security hex and security Torx will also take off hex and Torx without the security nub

I use my ifixit kit to modify snap-on dual 80 series ratchets

Allow me to clarify: I want to aggressively go to the limits of the law, to solve problems I have not yet come across, to spite all manufacturers, including those I've never heard of.

I want all the data on all the screwdrives, especially those used on consumer products, such as the ones in the image, which is used in Toyota electric car batteries iirc

Look up patents. There will/might be scale drawings in there.

Also there is no "law" to prevent you from owning any type of tool for these. If you want to really become all capable invent a self stopping milling bit capable of eating itself into any fastener head till it stalls to then be used to unthread the fastener and throw it away.

Buy the bit you need when you need it.
Then you never have extra shit you don't need, but you have everything you've needed at least once.

That's my tool philosophy.

3d scanner and cad/cam to mill the bit as needed?

>3d scanner and cad/cam to mill the bit as needed?

this, OP. shouldn't cost more than 10,000 dollars

>>2792362
I see 4 edges in there perfect for me to hammer a slotted screwdriver in

It’s not illegal to repair your own stuff

The fact that you think it’s illegal to take apart your iPhone and fix it proves that right to repair will fail

tell me more of these things.

>>2792830
The image says
>Restricted Tools
>Not available to the public

To have an Ultra-Lok II driver, I would need to steal it from a toyota service center or whatever

Repair itself is not illegal, but manufacturers wish it was

>>2792362
hammer and chisel, or just drill out the head and hammer some RBRT shit or torx into it

>>2792362
that screw can be removed with a flathead.

if that failed, then all you need is a cordless dremel cut a groove in it and use a flathead screw.

This, it actually looks easier to unscrew than most other security designs.

>>2792366
>there will be chink knockoff versions.
Not entirely true, it's not correct to say "knock off" when the chinks are making them and this company is selling them. you're just cutting out the middle man buying direct from the source.

>>2792362
The jew fears the hacksaw wielding, flathead screw making goy.

>>2792395
take your autism elsewhere, we're not your personal army you faggot
you have no actual problems you just want to collect bits, that's fine but this thread about it is completely fucking unnecessary

>>2793418
Do you have a rule of thumb for what deserves its own thread or what

>>2792906
“Not available to the public” isn’t a law… it’s a store policy/company policy

My policy is that I only fuck super models does that mean it’s now illegal when any non-super model fucks me because it’s against my policy?

>>2793639
To get one of their bits, I would need to steal it, which is illegal.

If I have one of the screws, I can make an imprint of its head using polymer clay, bake it, then get someone to make the bits, but that would require guesswork for tolerances and would be tedious.

I knew about this article, but now I know that I did not dig far enough into it.

Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
I am now tempted to expand it
