Where can I buy a triangle headed screwdrvier?

Question

I recently was given a mobile (for her cot - not a telephone) for my one month old baby. Rather stupidly I did not read the instructions before putting the thing together and have some how put one section in the wrong way round. I now need to unscrew part of the mobile so I can put it back together correctly.

However the toy makers have very kindly used a triangle headed screw which is impossible to remove using normal screw drivers.

If anyone knows where i can get a screwdriver which will work on the this screw it would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

JUST DO THIS - SIMPLE.

You will be able to do it with a small allen key. the 3 sides will be in contact.

Answer 2

I wanted an odd shaped tip for a fix-it project and had to buy a box of assorted tips, just to get the shape I wanted. In that box were square, triangle, star and other shapes. Maybe you can find something like that. I got mine at a tool store across the street from where I work.

Answer 3

Ace hardware should carry them. Did you look online? How about Sears or Home Depot? Good Luck

Answer 4

sounds like a philips head. Just go and buy one. It will always come in useful. Mind you, your friends and neighbours will have one cos I've got one and I'm diy useles!

Answer 5

a thin flat blade that is the size of one face of the triangle will usually work fine.
