SOLD Sold Out - Lawson FA5515 #4 Robertson Bits for SX230 Fuel Tank Hatch $2 Mailed

[Bruce]

I needed a #4 Robertson Bit to remove the fuel tank hatch cover on my SX230. I ordered 20. So I have 18 extras if anyone else needs them. $2 for 1 or $3 for 2 mailed to you. I confirmed that they are the correct fit. I also confirmed that they are not going to do much with a regular screwdriver. I plan to use a small cordless impact to remove the bolts.

@gunnerson, this is the bit you need. Feel free to use the part number locally if you can find it. I gave up and ordered.

@Bruce those are good bits and hold up well. I did the same thing you are doing a couple of years ago. Your bits should sell quickly.

Thanks for organizing this!

 

[PaulyB]

@gunnerson update your profile with your location so we know where you are, maybe there is a member close by with one to loan you for the weekend,

 

[Bruce]

Keeping track of orders;

@JetPowered 2
@PaulyB 2
@mark_m 2
@smthng 2
@Zarrella 2
@cozilla 2
@gunnerson 2

That only leaves 4 available. I should have ordered more.

Just for reference, if you're really desperate, most hardware stores sell square steel welding rods by the foot. The last time I needed to get those screws off, I just bought one of each size up to 3/8", found the one that fit and used vice grips. It's slow, but it works.

 

[Zarrella]

I just paid you.....Thanks Bruce

These bits work. I started off with one but ended up needing a second when I lost the first under the tray.



They held up well and did not strip the screw heads.

Unfortunately I had to get out the big impact for 6 of them and three of those broke off. The best method for the stuck ones seemed to be short bursts with the big impact.

@Bruce did the three hard ones have any white chalky substance on them ? I had several that were very difficult, I had to manually twist back and forth 1/8 of a turn to finally get them out,

They did. Two of the broken once can be removed with vice grips. Not sure how I will get the third out. Possibly a reverse threaded drill bit.

@cozilla, @gunnerson, @Zarrella, your bits went out in the mail today. Adam keep an eye on the mail. We are close enough that yours may arrive on Saturday.
