I do know that the forked ones are also designed like the gunsmithing screwdrivers, in that they stay as fat as they can until they absolutely need to taper down to fit the slot, so as to keep strength and not snap. I've broken a few standard screwdrivers during my typewriter exploits, so I'm always wary of their strength, and even more so if cut intoWords are Wingedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07427885896085053444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2155655733060090741.post-86686988282827124172016-06-08T09:43:11.643-07:002016-06-08T09:43:11.643-07:00Will do.

Two has only a single slot on one side, the other two have the split slot that a forkes screwhead would be useful for. I ended up getting them off by utilizing some heavy pliers (you can see one in a picture above, sitting below said rods) and just using all my might, as mine were rusted into place.
