Various Fastening Systems June 16, 2017, 10:50:28 am While Glenn deals with his Dometic Refridgerator issues, I was interested in Harold's response that the retaining screws on Glenn's heat shield were Robertson's Screws. https://youtu.be/kgfJw1d4FUEWhile I do have a set of Robertsons, I also have a set of Chapmans Tools...https://youtu.be/mGmGQTk1bNASo, while I pondered the difference between the two tools which appear to share similar designs, I found this Wikapedia listing of the varying designs of fasteners and tools to remove them...List of screw drives - WikipediaIt's makes me wonder what other marvels of screwdriver technology are out there.Filling the tool box can add a lot of weight to ones LD.

Re: Various Fastening Systems Reply #4 – June 16, 2017, 04:15:10 pm Our first family camper (Starcraft pop-up) used clutch-head screws, which look like bowties.Our boat (which I still have) uses some Reed & Prince screws, which look like Phillips at a quick glance, but don't have the tapered 'cam-out' umm... feature, yeah, that's the word, feature that Phillips has. R&P is pretty straight.And no Whitworth in my '67 Sunbeam, just lots of fine-thread bolts.Chip 1 Likes
