I'm considering buying this? It says there is a "tool" included. Is this the special screwdriver needed to remove the star screws? What is the tool?

Yes it's included. But the process is a pain. I would go ahead and spend the extra few bucks to get the one with the LCD.

I believe it was just a screw driver, but be careful not to tighten up to much because it'll come out the table.

No special tools. I believe it comes with an allen wrench. You just need to make sure your monitor or TV has VESA mounting so that the hole pattern fits the prebuilt plate that they supply. The actual product has no assembly. Attaching the plate to the TV took no more than 5 minutes max?!

It comes with a t10(I think) torx screw driver that is needed to take the cross bars off/or install them. Torx is a somewhat uncommon bit type (looks like a star), making it somewhat thief resistant, if someone really wanted to take them, they could. But they could also remove your wheels and tires if they wanted to go through the trouble.

If I recall correctly... it comes with a small screw driver. If not, they're easy to buy at any hardware store (or amazon!)

I've taken similar ones apart before, all you need is a long small Phillips screwdriver. I just hope you had better luck with yours than I did, I didn't use it for a few weeks after I got it and after about two days it started making such a racket it was a joke, after I let it run for a few hours it works fine but as soon as I have time it's coming apart for an overhaul.

Nothing out of the ordinary. Just a simple screw driver. If i recall correctly, I think it may have came with the tools needed to assemble. Good luck and congratulations :)

Yes it is just one screw it has to be almost out and it is kind of tough to get the motor off the shaft! I think I hd to use a long screw driver as leverage! Good luck. And install was much easier then uninstall!

Like I said before, I would recommend a drill. It was really difficult when I tried using a screw driver at first. You don't need anything fancy, though. Mine was just a little chargeable mini drill.

Actually it is a power screw driver, however I have used an appropriate sized 1/4 in. shank drill to drill pilot holes easily for years. Then simply swap tips and insert screw

Screw driver or screw gun. Can't remember if I had to use any wrenches. It's engineered well and requires only the basic tools.

I haven't removed them. They are a star-pattern hole on each side (6-point star). You might be able to use an allan wrench, but I'm afraid it may strip the screws. With the correct tool, the head should be removable very easily.

Yep, all you need is a screw driver. Did it in about 30-45 minutes. I'm 20 years old.

There's a tiny star screw right under the L on the metal part of the key. I hope that helps.

I believe my husband used a small Phillip screw driver. Nothing more. The item is well worth getting though.
