Al,
Yes, it's kind of a security fastener, but also a low-profile
fastener. There is a name for it, I just can't recall it at the moment.
Also, spanner (UK) = wrench (USA). Originally I think both terms
referred to tools with a fixed opening (like a crows foot or box end
wrench) but so far as I know, there as here, the term covers any
spanner/wrench, and it doesn't specifically describe what I'm talking about.
Regards,
Harry
