Buenas,
¿Ustedes serían tan amables de ayudarme a traducir la palabra “TAMPER-RESISTANT” en la siguiente oración?

Oración: TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

Contexto: El texto es de un manual de una cafetera. Parece que es un tipo de tornillo que trae el aparato. Encontré “TORNILLO RESISTENTE A LA MANIPULACION”.

Muchas gracias.

agree  Neil Ashby: It doesn't necessarily mean that you can detect when/if someone has tampered with it (that would apply to food packaging), rather it is difficult to tamper with it (in the case of a screw it might have an unusual slot for a special type of screwdriver).

  -> Thanks
agree  Robert Carter: Agree with Neil about it not meaning tamper-detectable. It usually refers to a type of screw that can be tightened but is difficult to untighten again.
