There’s these shelves we are trying to remove but no standard set of screwdriver bits we have fits on them or turns them. Does anyone know what type of screwdriver bit is needed for this?



Flat head doesn’t work.

Definitely pozi (PZ), but they have up to 5 sizes (1 - 5). Most common are 1 - 3, but 1 is for very tiny screws.

The rule with pozi is that the size that fits is the next size up from the one you think will fit1

That's definitely a knackered pozi head screw.0

There are quite a few methods of removing screws such as extractors, cutting a slot with a Dremel etc.
You might be able to get a small pair of mole grips on to get it loose.0 -

Does not look too bad. And elastic band and the right pozi head should do it.
