Minelab battery cover screw

[DirtyDeedsDugDirtDeep]

Anybody else find that itty bitty battery cover screw to be a P.I.A. ????
I'm thinking of a replacement screw that won't require a screw driver.
Is there one already available ??
I'd make one, but don't want to re-invent the wheel as they say.
Any ideas ???
Thanks for your time.

I never had to touch mine. I just flap up the rubber battery cap and turn it to one side for battery removal. Why are you removing yours for some reason?

[size=large]like wm says. remove one ad leave the other. then just flip the cover around when needed.

You dont need any screw driver to remove battery, its made to hold rubber cap-thats all.

Hi guys,
Thanks for the input.
The reason I asked about it was that the P.O. (previous owner) suggested taking it off when switching batteries because it is rubber/soft plastic and repeated opening and closing can eventually tear the corner off.
I have not used it enough yet to burn through any batteries , so I didn't know what the deal was.
The manual just says to pull it out of the way or whatever.
If it will take a month of Sundays to wear out the cap, then yeah, leave the screw alone and just move it out of the way.
Thanks again for the feedback.
With a little luck I'll be hitting the detecting trail in earnest the weekend !!
