Step 31TP3® Triangular Recess Security

TP3® Triangular Recess Security
TP3® is a new triangular recessed drive offers great security. You may be able to make my own by filing down a 6-sized hex bit, but they never fit or work very well. These security bits are being used on an increasing number of products; Nintendo, Gameboy; Fast Food promotional toys and video games; Die-cast toys; Roomba battery packs. There are four sizes; A=0.079" A=0.091" A=0.106" A=0.126". See Gamer Drives.

For almost any security bit, you can use the right size flathead screwdriver to open it.

If you ever need one of those triangle Happy Meal screwdrivers in a big hurry, you're not going to find one at your local hardware store.  Not to worry.  Just use a 6-side Torx of a nice size that fits snugly.  Two of the six points of the Torx driver will touch each side of the triangular screw cutout.  (Yeah, yeah, experience....)

How confusing! 4 sizes are all called "A" !!
Also, the picture of the bit appears to be a Hex/Allen! Hard to tell.
