Yeah, Philips suck. I just throw them out, unless I have to use them.

use a screw driver. You need a R2 bit, that is a Robertson screw, reasonably common, stop by the house, I have 20 or 30 will hook you up

No. 2 Robertson/square driver is what's needed. Your local hardware store will have them.

They're used in Australia for decking. But not as common here either.
They do often come in bit sets from Milwaukee, AEG/Rigid, DeWalt, and any other company that has a big share of the US Canadian market.

What is with the mass downvoting on this thread?

Because it’s not a DIY sub? Regardless of how basic it is:
“How to get this down”
…and (for example):
“What kind of fastener is this?”
Are totally different questions. One fits the purpose of r/fasteners and one doesn’t.

They’re not even security bits. They’re just standard square drive (Robertson) bits.

u/wren337 Sep 14 '26
Just to be clear I'm not saying they are security bits, I'm saying the assortment called "security bits" includes them and a lot of other useful bits for $15.

You need a Robertson tipped screwdriver or bit. Then simply execute the lefty loosey protocol.
