How to open these screws from the key fob?
I bought the keyfob for the key from Collections - https://www.yotamd.com/collections. It is pretty good, however, when I needed to replace the battery, I coudlnt figure out how to open the screws, It did come with a small screw driver, but it does not work. I bought a set of precision screw drivers Hyper Tough 6 Piece Precision Philips and Slotted Screwdriver Set TS80037R Steel | eBay - https://www.ebay.com/itm/405573239929 but these dont work either

what screw driver will open these screw to allow me to change the battery

looks like a small allen is needed to remove the hardware, not sure if metric or standard

A little off topic, but what’s the value prop behind these aftermarket key heads? I believe they’re ~$80, which buys 2-3 injection molded aftermarket key assemblies, identical to OE. What am I missing?

They feel awesome. Very solid feeling compared to the OEM piece of crap. I’ve had the OEM fobs break on my GS430 and LS430.
 
Not having to replace them 2-3 times.
Hm, ok. The original fob on my truck has lasted 26 years and counting, so [counts fingers and toes] that’s a 75-year fob? 🤣
