Basic blender went bad (motor ran but spindle wasn’t rotating). I wanted to disassemble to see if it could be repaired. Three of the four screws were Phillips head. I had to cut the casing open in order to discover why I couldn’t unscrew the fourth. It was a slotted spanner.

    If you have a Dremel, I bet you could take out the center bit and use a regular slotted screwdriver.

      $10 says it was recessed before op cut the base off, making it impossible without damage to slot the screw with a Dremel.

          Damn, I didn’t even think of that. It would be ruining a good screwdriver, but you could just use an old worn flat-head drill bit.

          Good call, either way.

          Where’d you get such a big brain

          Edit - ah, since you can’t see the screw until you cut away at the product, the company is still going to frustrate even the crafty DIYers
