Once I got a Boxer TP62 screwdriver kit, I realized the world was held together with tamperproof screws and started carrying it with me everywhere. Previously, if I came across an obscure tamperproof screw, I would grind an Allen wrench until I could jam it in or mickey mouse some sort of welding rod and Vise-Grip contraption.
The Boxer TP62 is a standard removable bit, plus a ratcheting screwdriver with not only the expected standard Phillips and flat bits, but also 57 high-security tamperproof bits to open damn near every machine meant to remain unopened. From the sinister Snake Eyes Spanner to the three-blade Phillips, there are bits for screws I didn't even realize were removable. With the Boxer, you think, "For now, you bastard screws will remain impervious, steadfastly guarding against the random reordering of tenant listings. But make no mistake, should I desire, I could have every damn one of you removed in seconds. And I would eat you like hot peanuts."

I logged into Makezine specifically to praise my new discovery, the Boxer TP-62 Security Bit set, and dang! you beat me to it. This thing has a bit for every weird touch-me-not screw shape you've ever seen and several I hope never to see. Here is the link to the product page.Posted by davidcortesi on December 08, 2006 at 15:54:03 Pacific Time

I should add, however, that the driver shaft is 7/16 and the bits are not awfully long. So if a screw head is recessed more than 1/2" in a hole narrower than 7/16, you will have to ream the hole to get the bit down in it.Posted by davidcortesi on December 08, 2006 at 15:56:27 Pacific Time
