My aluminum utility trailer has about a half dozen of these screws, aluminum self-tapping type, that are used to hold nylon ties that secure the 12 volt wiring. While checking for a possible short in the wiring, I tried to loosen the one shown in the attachment with both T-15 (too small) and T-20 (too large) screwdrivers. It took a pair of vice grips to unthread it and once I got it out I looked closely and the head recess has EIGHT sides. Did some research and learned they are to used with a #2 Robertson (square drive) screwdriver or bit. I have seen a lot of square head recess screws on RV's but never a fastener with an 8-sided head recess.
Passing this along is my good deed for today....
