BTW, what platform did you use to get that reply, and wouldn’t I have to “scale” the picture? A very good picture I can get. Easiest to measure would be the OD of the screw head — I can measure that fairly reliably to within 0.0005” — assuming the “head” is that round. (eye-roll)

Thanks!

It was interesting that your product manufacturer went to some trouble to prevent anyone lacking the exact proper tool to crack it.

I thought the table near the end listing the various type Y’s might be of help to you.

I’m supposed to know stuff and this was all new to me.
