hi lugo35,

i think it is called an arcameedies screw (not sure of the spelling though) but lidl have a lode of them at £2.99 so i don't think you will get much interest.

I have used wire to lock assemblies on old bike engines, there are pliers made for this:

I never had a pair but they are still made.
