Product Information

These sizes do not necessarily describe a particular dimension of the drive shape, but rather are arbitrary designations. Some screws have heads designed to accommodate more than one kind of driver, sometimes referred to as combo-head or combi-head. covers dimensions for Type A (shoulder under the head), regular and heavy, along with Type B (without shoulder), regular and heavy.

This type of bolt is commonly used with prison door locks, automobile ignition switches, and street signs, to prevent easy removal. The Type II (Conical/Connie) design adds a conical cup that receives a centering pin on the driver, improving the alignment of the driving tool to the fastener recess. While a Phillips screwdriver has slightly tapered flanks, a pointed tip, and rounded corners, a Pozidriv screwdriver has parallel flanks, a blunt tip, and additional smaller ribs at 45° to the main slots.The Phillips screw drive (specified as an ANSI Type I Cross Recess [9] and type H in ISO documentation) was created by John P. The recess and driver were designed for "full radial contact along all four wings of the screw" [38] which helps to prevent stripping and cam-out. There has long been a popular belief that this was a deliberate feature of the design, to assemble aluminium aircraft without overtightening the fasteners. Whether the message is a fire safety one or a general safety message, the problems facing sign makers are the same: what is the best way of conveying essential safety instructions - through pictures or words?

However, the security feature of this design can be bypassed by using some type of pliers if enough force is applied. They are difficult to remove with conventional tools because the slot is designed to cause cam out when even minimal torque is applied in the direction to unscrew it.

These specialized screws are usually used on electronics equipment, including some Nintendo handheld hardware, Sanyo and Kyocera cellular telephones, and Fuji digital cameras. Torx Plus is an improved version of Torx that extends tool life even further and permits greater torque transfer compared to Torx. Also, some external drives can be engaged from the side, without requiring large inline clearance for tool access, which allows their use in tight spaces such as engines or complex pipework. It was designed to permit increased torque transfer from the driver to the bit compared to other drive systems. Compared to the hexagon socket drive, spline socket drives are less likely to strip for the same amount of torque; however, the spline socket drive is not much more strip-resistant than a Torx drive.
