Hi All,
Anybody know where i can get hold of a tool for removing the security srews from cable outlet covers? dont know what they are called but they look like inverted Hex drives.

An SDS set to chisel will sort it mate

Need to refit the cover afterwards, lost it a couple of times and resort to a hammer very good for relieving stress. Thanks for the useful tip.

If they look like that you need a angle grinder

If access is good then chip out the centre and use standard torx, if not a set of driver bits is quite cheap these days.

Not if they are recessed in, if they are open then sometimes they are easy to remove with a good pair of grips
