Help needed taking out hex screws

I see you good folk haven't worked out how to use a search engine yet.

Yes. I have a similar set, but avoid using them as a rule.

Did you watch the video?
With the sets I have, the ball end is on the low torque end (ie the long section).
Is your similar set accurately made, and does it come with an unlimited lifetime warranty? Mine do.

1) I have no idea, I don't use them.

2) Probably not, but they wont wear out or break, as I don't use them.

Was it one of the best decisions you've EVER made, Adam? Or just in a general sense? One of the best decisions I've ever made was to try, out of curiosity, more than anything, Walker's Marmite chrisps. Scrumdiddlyumtious, they are, Adam. Yes, one of my better decisions.

Anyway, you're a man of the Hi-Fi World, how would you rate your Technics SL-P1200?

I quite agree that Marmite walkers crisps are a good decision, as I have also made this myself. However, an even better one was Burt's Guinness flavour - absolutely stonking!

As to the SL-P1200, I like it. It's a bit ragged up the top end but it's a fun listen, the bass is superb and it's such a lovely thing to use. Ultimately, my Marantz CD-94 does better it considerably in sonic terms, though.

Thanks for all the advice guys, as usual an apparently very innocuous question about what seems a rather minor issue raises a good debate!

I think I've been a bit stupid as having looked closer at the bolts in better light there are little raised dots on the inside, I'm wondering if they are actually torx or a similar type and my hex key just happened to work ok on the slightly less tight one. I've been told about a company called Clerkenwell screws so I might take that one in to them to see what it is.

Oh, you can buy both hex and Torx as security screws with raised pins in the centre that require a hollow bit to remove them. If you take a decent picture with your phone camera (assuming you have one) and post it I (we) can tell you what it is.

No these have little dots around the inner edge of the hole, I'll try and add a pic

I've had a look at the other side and I can't see the dots, so I'm wondering if the hex key has made those marks..

Struggling with the phone camera, but an back to thinking they are hex.
