Hi,
I need to access behind a kitchen unit and so need to temporarily remove the shelving. The only connections I can see on the shelving are these screws with a head that's sort of like a Phillips head, but isn't really and are at a bit of an angle. They rotate for about a revolution and then stop. How do these work - is there a specific type of tool for removing these?
