Yes, it looks like the new sets do not have them anymore. I have a 5 and 7 with the G 3.8 and G 4.5 for the smaller ones in game systems.


Yeah I found several things that got close since I posted originally but never what I needed. I was scrolling through posts and saw this and just thought I'd let everyone know I managed a solution without getting any new toys. I think I used some small branch trimmers that I use as wire cutters to grab into the divets in the screw head. It was tough to get them all to turn but it managed to get them all started.

Ingenuity! You can say us E-wasters are pretty good at that , :D

I was thinking a small enough socket driver, not the Hex square, but the Bi/Double hex/12 point ones, might be able to fit over that and grab the ridges; if anyone doesn't have the correct tool again.

Needle nose vice grips would probably work a charm too

Gamebit (tm?) is one section of TT screws.
I’m coming across them in security equipment and locks now more and more.
