Tony_C Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Anyone seen this before? It came from the USA and (if picture is not clear enough) it’s a five sided pentagon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Yep - it's quite common for odd 'security' screws to be used these days. As you say - it's to deter you from getting inside. Some have a cenral spigot too. You need a set of these: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tony_C Posted March 10 Author Report Share Posted March 10 Thanks Rob, eBay? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Yes fleabay or Amazon. Readily available. You can get complete sets with all the different odd-uns in for not much money, but most of those don't yet include pentagonal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tony_C Posted March 10 Author Report Share Posted March 10 Inside (must be although I cannot see it) is some sort of pulley system with 3 or 4 levels of resistance (maybe they don’t want you in there because everything might pop out under pressure?), the resistance is too strong on all the settings at the moment; you can hear and feel resistance inside (compared to the other end / others, bit of eezit oil inside could not do any harm?

You need a set of these: I bought a set of 5 sided Torx keys recently on eBay to release a radio from my BMW Z3 dash. Quite cheap. Btw Tony, what is it that you are trying to get into?

Deggers Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Easy there, Tony. If the sh*t hits the fan in the next few days . . . we'll know who's to blame! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tony_C Posted March 10 Author Report Share Posted March 10 Thanks Dave, it’s not TR.. but you already knew that! My wife is a Sports Therapist and this is part of a piece of ‘reformer Pilates equipment’…. Clear as mud now?

RogerH Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Surely it has at least two - the inside and the outside. But does anybody know whose side they are on!!! Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
