Just a FYI, they sell drivers for these bits as well.....it stick you bit in and basically you have a screw driver.MotoFAN wrote:Ok, thanks!
But what about screwdriver instead of bit?
Where it is possible to buy such through the Internet?

I know you said not to say this but most of us, including many of those with service shops have simply taken a regular screwdriver and removed the center of the screwdriver with a dremel tool or grinder.......making yourself one for less than $1.00 in most cases. The entire process is complete in 5 minutes or less.

take a small needle-nosed set of pliers, spread the tips slightly apart, and
then put the tips into the sides of the spanner head screw and turn. We
have all done it this way at one time or another and it works fine and does
not hurt the screw's top surface.
Even the original Motorola Tool, that was outragously expensive, had the possiblity of leaving tool marks. You have been given several solutions by those who have done this hundreds and thousands of times. Tom's tip is a free solution that will cost you nothing whatsoever. Also, even if you were to scratch the surface of the battery plate, WHO CARES? This is simply covered up anytime you have a battery on the radio. No one will ever see it.MotoFAN wrote:Nevertheless this method leaves marks. I wish to avoid it.Tom in D.C. wrote:If you really can't find your way clear to make a tool for this, then simply
