I can't get into some lamp posts

[hillbillie]

The usual key I use is:

Switch key - Universal 9 in 1 : C.K Tools

There are 3 triangle keys on this and usually the biggest one works. However, the posts I need to get into now have a triangular bolt, with rounded edges, which is too small for the largest of the triangle keys and too big for the second one down. Any one got any ideas?

I see some manufacturers make a 6mm, 6mm and 10mm triangle keys but I assume these are what the CK multi tool above has, though even the CK website doesn't say.

Help!

I've had this before but now I've got a kry which came with a new post which fits the other size... I'd suggest you google lamppost suppliers and see if they can supply one

Try using a deep six sided socket, some of them fit the triangle.
