So you need one with the anti-tamper tip to be certain, as that started to be used in some applications from the DC07 and DC14 through to the current models like the DC39, DC40, DC41 and Big Ball Cinetic.
SCREWDRIVERS NEED FOR MAC REPAIR DRIVERS
However, as Torx drivers became more common, tamper-resistant variants, as described here, were developed.Ī screwdriver with that “anti-tamper” feature will fit both types of Torx screw, one without that facility will not. Initially, they were sometimes used in applications requiring tamper resistance, since the drive systems and screwdrivers were not widely available. Torx screws are commonly found on cars, motorbikes, bicycle brakes, computer hard disk drives, computer systems and consumer electronics. This is sometimes abbreviated in tool databases and catalogues as “6lobe”. The official generic name, technically called ISO 10664, is hexalobular internal. Torx (pronounced “torks”), was first developed in 1967 by Camcar Textron, and is the trademark for this type of screw head characterized by a 6-point star-shaped pattern.Ī popular generic name for the drive is “star”, as in “star screwdriver” or “star bits”. Some have a pin in the middle like the one above that is called an anti-tamper screw some older ones do not. The domed head is shaped rather like a star and they look like this. Have a look around your Dyson vacuum cleaner and you will see them.
But I will make it simple it for you below.ĭyson vacuum cleaners are assembled using what are called Torx screws. Not every Dyson model of vac use the same size in all applications.
This is something we are asked every week, so I thought I would write an article to clarify it. “Which screwdriver do I need to fix my Dyson Vacuum cleaner?”
