Thread: Looking for Spanner Head Screwdriver

They are sometimes called snake-eye screwdriver bits and Wagner Electronic Services have a selection of different size bits but no dedicated screwdrivers. If they don't have it, you are probably not likely to find it in Australia.

Could you not just use the bits in a screwdriver-type bit handle? Or I suppose you could use a Dremel type grinder to modify an ordinary slotted screwdriver to fit.

Could you not just use the bits in a screwdriver-type bit handle?

The screw that I want to open in a deep narrow hole , since the diameter for bit holder is larger than the diameter of the hole and since the hole is deep therefore I can not fit it in.

And I believe Spanner Head Screwdriver has smaller diameter than bit holder.

If you already have the bit to suit, you could maybe cut a slot in the end to use with an ordinary screwdriver or else attach it to a suitable diameter rod/bolt with maybe epoxy glue or silver solder/braze etc.

Good luck.

They are also called Pin Head or Snake Eyes and there are a few different sizes. Common in the security industry so get in touch with Law Tools in Brisbane and see if they can help

Then if you can't fit the bit and handle into the hole I've superglued the bit to the end of a small metal rod and used that.

I've also used an old flatblade screwdriver and have just filed out the gap needed.

Best bet is to make one your self fine an appropriate sized flathead and grind it out yourself with grinder and files?

Any decent electronic tool supplier should be able to supply one.....I am sure both excelite and C&K have them in their ranges.
try Farnell, Radio Spares, Paul's, Amies agency ar a number of others... even your local electrical wholsaler.

You can pick up the security screwdriver bit sets all over the place but thay are no help as you have found.

cheers

try Farnell, Radio Spares, Paul's, Amies agency ar a number of others...

I have already tried Farnell,,,,,and RS australia.rs-online.com (I guess this is Radio Spares)........................They do not have them.

I will try the rest

Zillah,

Try everyone and you probably won't get one in OZ. You would be better searching OS. Best option is to make one and it would be cheaper.
