What tool should be used to install push buttons with snake eye screws?

Flathead screwdriver
Hex screwdriver
Phillips screwdriver
Tamper Proof screwdriver

The correct answer is: Flathead screwdriver

The appropriate tool for installing push buttons with snake eye screws is a tamper-proof screwdriver. Snake eye screws are designed with a unique shape that requires a specific type of screwdriver to properly engage and turn them. A tamper-proof screwdriver features a special design that fits the snake eye pattern, allowing for secure installation while preventing unauthorized removal. Using a flathead screwdriver would not provide the necessary fit or grip to effectively turn the snake eye screws, and is not intended for use with that type of screw design. Other screwdrivers, such as hex or Phillips, also lack the specific design needed for snake eye screws, making the tamper-proof screwdriver the correct choice for this task.
