Seems to be plenty listed on Amazon.com, too. I do not know from personal experience, though.

Well, maybe I was wrong. Anyone know how they work?On edit, after much research, I'll hold ground on this one.The reviews on these wannabe removers, range from bad to terrible to none.I would not consider it a special if it doesn't work.My common sense still prevails.

They work pretty good. You need to apply a great deal of force to get them out. If the screw is corroded, the tool doesn't work that great. You will have to use other means to get them out. They use them a lot in school bathrooms.

Shhh, don't tell anyone, but if you stop by Harbor Freight, they have a couple of bit assortments that have a bunch of different style security bits.

Unfortunately a one way screw is not a security screw. Security screws are designed to be removed.... One way screws are not.
