WD40 again

[Dean May]

Everyone should carry one of those $20 bit sets for their cordless drill.
Mine includes several drill bits and fits in my DeWalt case. Most all of
those will have a 1/4 allen bit. Just the ticket for the few you encounter.

I was fortunate the first time I ran into one of these beasties and had a
blade screwdriver which fit snugly in the head.  On the way home I bought
the wrench which  I've carried in my toolbox for the last 25 years - and
used it about every 5 years...
