Re: What type of nut is this?Torx head
They say don't try this at home so I'm coming over to your place to try it.
Re: What type of nut is this?Thanks couldn't for the life of me figure it out. No wonder my sockets wouldn't budge it ![]() Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk
Re: What type of nut is this?It’s called a DNF fastener.

Re: What type of nut is this?
One of a range of "anti-tamper" fasteners, designed to stop us playing with things like microwave ovens. If they are reassembled wrongly there is a health risk from leaking microwave radiation.
Re: What type of nut is this?Not actually going to touch the microwave itself. Just need to move it temporarily. So was hoping to unbolt from the bracket do what needs doing & put it back Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk
Re: What type of nut is this?Most sets of multi fastner bits have a selection of torx, both the standard and non tamper version. Can be had in Wilko, halfrauds, or anywhere else that sells tools.
Whatever
Re: What type of nut is this?Like this one

Re: What type of nut is this?
True. Anti-tamper fittings . . . AKA "we want some more cash so here is yet another type of fitting that you`ve gotta get tools for".

Re: What type of nut is this?First things first - it’s a bolt, not a nut.
Re: What type of nut is this?
Are you sure it`s not a screw?

Re: What type of nut is this?Take no notice of anti tamper screws. if you want to know how something works, pull it apart. Putting it back together and having it working again could be a different matter though
![]() As mentioned its a torx head, most likely T20 or T25, microwave and other small appliance std sizes.. ..Loaded like a Freight Train..
Re: What type of nut is this?Forget the expense of torx heads. Use your Allen keys.
What I know about I.T. can be stored on the top row of my abacus.

Re: What type of nut is this?They're not just fitted as anti-tamper... there are more sophisticated fasteners to do that.
Basically, they are used because they're better suited to the assembly process than the old-fashioned Phillips and Pozi-Drive heads we used to have. The screw is less prone to wobble when it's on the end of the screwdriver (often on a robot) so the chances of crossed threads and misplaced screws are reduced, which of course speeds up assembly times and therefore makes the job more efficient and cost-effective. They're also able to be done up to a higher torque than the old-fashioned heads.And on the plus side, easier to remove if they get rusted.
