    • Buy a hollow screw (4 mm hole) like this one for about 40 cts. Strike it with a hammer. Now you can use it to grab the oval screw and use a regular flat or cross screwdriver to remove the oval screw.

    I found this screw in my IKEA kit for kitchen , 0 euros and it work. thanks

I simply cut a slot in the oval screw with my Dremel

Ging SUPER EASY - Danke für den Tipp. Nicht zu fest auf die Hülsenschraube klopfen -sonst wird das Oval zu flach. Bei dem zweiten Mall habe ich jetzt den idealen "BIT-Ersatz" noch am Abend herstellen können.

Wonderful solution. Saved me trouble in getting the oval screw tool.
