Want it? Anyway, maybe check any new ones to be sure it's there

Want it? Anyway, maybe check any new ones to be sure it's there Thanks for the offer, but I'm ok. I think the picture below of the socket and screwdriver extension is what I should have thought of a long time ago.

Now I can finally put the cover back on, if I can find it! So why not replace your current screws with phillips head screws? They're M5. As long as they have the little thingy inside as Terry mentioned, they'll be fine.

Too easy to cam out and strip. I think the idea is to pull the cable and just use a screwdriver to snug the cable tight so it doesn't slip, and then tighten with a wrench. Using two wrenches from the start has always been a dread for me.
