Pfister kitchen 1 handle faucet set screw??
Author: Vs1dcolor (CA) I thought it was supposed to use an allen wrench to take off my handle, but it seems like there isn't the set screw that I'm not used to. Looks like it has a rod in the middle of it when I took a picture of the hole. Looks like a round tube that has a rod in the middle of it so my Allen wrench can't go in that hole. Any thoughts??

Author: NP16 (OR) Looks like you need an Allen wrench tool. These set screws are very easily stripped. So make sure the tool is completely inserted into the head of the screw before applying moderate force counter clockwise.

Author: sharp1 (IL) That appears to be a tamper resistant set screw that requires a special bit. The bit will have the hex shape on the outside and a hollow center that allows it to be inserted. [www.amazon.com]

Author: hj (AZ) Unless it was done "after market" those screws have never been used in ANY faucet. How about a faucet number so we can look at a schematic.
