It's only January 2nd, you guys, and already I'm tired. Not because I stayed out too late partying and didn't get enough sleep, but because I really want folks to just collectively agree to be cool and not try to screw each other over in every possible way.
Sometimes, even literally. While I've definitely been known to waffle on about screws in the past, fair warning, I'm about to do it again. And this time, it's about a screw you probably don't have the corresponding driver for, which is precisely the point. For the record, I don't either, and if BMW has anything to say about it, only the folks they deem 'authorized' ever will. Yep, BMW is introducing a new security screw where the driver will likely only ever be owned by BMW.
Security screws are nothing new; they've been around for ages, with various head shapes you can find patents for dating back to the beginning of the modern patent system. If you're a consummate DIYer, chances are excellent that you already own a set of these somewhere in your stash, and also that you'll pick up a few more along the way as you delve into this or that new project.
