There's a bit which looks like a flatblade screwdriver but the centre of the flat bit is missing, so it looks like a dinner fork with the centre two prongs missing and the outer prongs are only 2mm long.

What's the name of that sort of bit? and I need one in a small screwdriver type set i.e not the bits but a set of screwdrivers IYKWIM

thanks.

    Are you talking about the one that comes with security bit sets?

    I think you might be looking for a spannerhead screwdriver?

    One of these? It's a spanner head screwdriver.

    It's only a game

    If you can't find any I've got away with using my needlenose pliers.
    Or with much cursing, a couple of allen keys tightened into a small adjustable spanner.

    Thanks all, yes, that's the one.

    I could also grind/file a cut-away into a flat screwdriver blade.
