    Yes, I know. I use Torx screwdriver bits for them, but we can use Square screwdriver bit for ECX also, why they made a special bit for them then?! I have not seen Square/Slotted bits in UK by now. 

    There have been infrequent encounters for me on ECX screws, always on electrical parts. I just ordered those Milwaukee bits for that usage.

     

    Many times I was able to use square drive bits for tightening, so I used that drive bit.

    This one might be for light use manually?!

    Some overhead electrical fixtures have trim covers retained by screw/studs and spherical balls that finger screw onto those "studs". These ball screws might be used in that application.

    Ball Head Screws.jpg

    Most ball head fastener images I located showed either having a shoulder, an Allen hex drive receptacle, or both. Some also have a larger hex drive shoulder.

     

    The ones w/ the larger hex drive shoulder appear to be applicable for usage as part of a ball joint system, w/ the shoulder being used to provide strength.

    I was looking for Torx/Slotted screws and I found a few strange screw types with strange drives, Have you ever seen any of them or a screwdriver bit for these?!

    This appears to be a combination drive, accepting both Torx and flat head screwdriver.

    That vendor is now showing DeWALT DCN623 23 gauge pin nailer tool-only pre order w/ shipment expected April 15.

    There is another online vendor, showing the same price and shipment date for the tool-only. That other vendor also has the kit, w/ the battery, charger and bag, same shipment date.

    Thanks.

     

    The company ends the video w/ a web URL saying to purchase the DeWALT DCN623 at that site, but currently not listed.

     

    Hopefully soon.

  7. Welcome to the forum.

     

    Other than the excessive length, do the brushes fit?

     

    If so, then maybe some creative rework can provide an acceptable result.

     

    For example, if the exterior surface of a hole saw, w/ approximately the same diameter as the motor commutator is covered w/ abrasive attached w/ adhesive, then that could be a tool to rework the brush length.

     

    If going that route wear air and eye protection.

     

    This is a perfect example of why it is a great idea to create a computer folder w/ manual and part diagram files for tools after they are purchased.

     

  8. The TEMCo TH0376 5/8" SDS Max ground rod driving adapter provides amazing results.

     

    This permits driving a ground rod (like a hot knife through butter) w/o difficulty. I used this to bury four 10' ground rods, two for the house, two for the detached shed / workshop, having a sub panel.

     

    Unlike my prior Primitive Pete efforts, using my mini Thor hammer, the exposed end looks almost pristine, w/ zero mushrooming impact damage.

     

    In one instance the rod found a rock. It paused for a second, then continued on to the desired depth w/o any extra effort on my part.

     

    The only "difficulty" was having to start 10' up on a step ladder, but IMO that was not an issue.

     

    Images shows one rod driven below grade holding the vertical tool and the second ready to be driven.
