Those turn up on cheap domestic appliances over here. The only possile 
reason for them is to make the device difficult to repair, something 
which, not suprisingly, I disapprove of. 

I've not managed to fidn a source of drivers or bits for these in the UK 
-- the 'security bit' sets don't contain them, and none of the tool shops 
I frequent keeps them. Does anyone know a source. So far I've had to make 
my own drivers from metal rod, fortunately the screws haven't been that 
tight.
