Answer 1

it looks like it is the shape of a figure 8 it is on older trailers i had to go to a trailers sales to by the s***w driver.i'm not sure what year they stop making those screws and replaced them with squared head screws

Answer 2

it's a terrible photo, but it looks like either a square or philips drive button head sheet metal s***w.  If the head is a little square, that would be square drive, the cross is philips.  

Answer 3

Answer 4

It's a Clutch Head s***w.  I had several campers in the 70s and 80s and both of them had these.  I got a driver in a set from Sears.

Probably the best place to get one is a mobile home or RV dealer such as

Answer 5

I think you would wast your time and money purchasing a driver for them screws they will probably strip out anyway. find a way to cut the heads off or grind a flat grove to use a Flathead on. just my few sense worth. I know its about fifty screws per window. Your right clutch head type g

Answer 6

looks like a combination square phillips head s***w but don't even waste your time with a phillips use a square driver

Answer 7

It's called a Robertson head.  You should be able to find a s***w driver for it.  If you can't there is screwdriver called a 10 way driver in the electrical dept of any home improvement center. There are 3 sizes of robertson drivers. Yours will be a #2.  It's actually the same size driver used in many electrical boxes today.  Good Luck.

Answer 8

Its a Clutch Head s***w

There are different versions of "TamperProof" screws

these were replaced by "Torx" head screws

then by Tamper proof torx

use a pair of vicegrips to start it to turn then a flat head s***w driver that fits inside to keep turning it.

throw it away when your done and replace it with a common s***w  

Answer 9

Scroll down on this website and choose the one that is closer to what you have.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/s***w  You can buy a damaged s***w remover that may or may not help.  It might be easier to drill the head off the s***w.

Answer 10

It is a special head but I don't know what it is called. Since you have one out take it to a specialty hardware supplier. Tacoma s***w comes to mind.  It is not a Robertson (square drive), Torx, Phillips, Reed and Prince, Allen or Posidrive. It is a tamper proof specialty item that is common in the trailer industry about 20 years ago.  Good Luck.  

Answer 11
