Thanks, as long as the screw specifies Double Square 2, it should work.
Two Double Squares are required. (There are several of them.) I know it makes no sense because the trialer screws appear to be torx - However, they are assembled with a "Double Square Bit"br>On my 1995 Haulmark 20 foot, I replaced all 500 screws. Many of them were rusted, and a local trailer repair shop refused to work on them. Soooo. I go to work after purchasing the screws on Ebay and the Bits on Amazon. If they resist your coming out, here's how you handle it: br>Using a deep socket bit, tap the area around the screwhead several times. After that, use a center punch to strike the center. (small enough to avoid damaging the bit's biting edges.) WD-40 is sprayed on. Allow to sit for at least 40 minutes and up to 24 hours. Use a battery-powered impact driver, such as a small Makita, to install the bits. If they don't respond, put the bit in a screwdriver that accepts bits and lean into it while trying to turn it. Depending on the age of the trailer and how long it has been exposed to the elements, you may need to proceed to the third step. Heat the head with a propane torch (the paint may fade, but you can fix it). Re-examine the methods described above. br>If they still won't come out or you've stripped the head, move on to step four: Cut a channel for a standard large screwdriver bit across the head of a 4 inch grinder with a thin diamond blade. Put that flat bit in your impact driver and lean into it as you hit the trigger in short bursts. With enough heat and patience, they'll all turn and emerge. br>I hope this information is useful.

I don't think so. These were required to remove screws from a Haulmark trailer. The screws are rated as a six out of ten. I couldn't find the bits anywhere else unless I ordered them specifically. I hope this information is helpful.

One is done by hand, one is done with a straight, clutch-type drill motor, and one is done with an impact driver. They fit perfectly in the screws, but any real torque applied to remove them shattered the tip. The heads were ground off and the holes were drilled out in the end. Bah- hum- bug. So, what is the significance of the four-star rating? If these are the screws you want to use, I figure they'll work well for a new project because these tips are extremely difficult to come by in local stores.
If you have an 8-point head screw, these are the "meow" tools to use because a torx screwdriver will not work. A cargo trailer has its own screw for whatever reason, and you won't find one of these double square bits at your neighborhood hardware store.

These performed exactly as expected. The fact that the screws on my Haulmark Enclosed Trailer were not Torx was a pleasant surprise. I've heard that a 2 square bit can be used on these, but this one has twice the load bearing surface area, so it'll strip half as easily. I'm not sure I'll ever use this bit again because it took me 45 years to discover these screws for the first time, but when you need one, there's no other option.

I thought they were a little pricey for three bits, but given that they are a specialty item, I suppose it's understandable. They are effective. They fit into and out of my cordless impact driver just fine, and when you properly apply them to the screws and press the button, the screws either come out or go in. That's what I believe is supposed to happen, or at least what I've been told.
