Hello, I need to take a CW80 apart but need a proprietary bit to remove the case fasteners. Appears to be a tri lobe head of some sort but not sure. Anyone know exactly what bit I need?

It’s a triangle safety head screw, ….designed to be tamper proof, …but Jeff Besos sells them, …..make sure you get long reach versions, they’re deep in the holes…..

Thanks harmonyards
You can take an old Allen wrench and grind the end to a triangular shape. I have one sitting on my bench.
I used the triangular bit from this tool kit to open the CW80.

Why ruin such a good tool for a terrible transformer? (if it's the older model)

Ha, Ha! Sometimes it’s just the fuse that goes bad, but it is a turd…
The screw head is a TA27.
Amazon has plenty of small kits available. Punch in “triangular Screw drivers”.
