Drive Styles

Hex

Hex accepts standard 6-pt, 12-pt, or open-end wrench.

One-Way

Basic slot has reverse side cammed so that screwdriver can only advance the screw and not back it out.

Phillips

Most recommended drive type. Sharp-cornered cross recess gives close fit and good control. Always use a driver bit in good condition

Slotted

Accepts standard blade screwdriver. Requires less downward pressure to drive slotted parts than it does those with crossrecessed openings. Use proper fitting blade to minimize slippage.

Spanner

Special unslotted screws surface, in Round undrilled, Flat drilled and others that require a special wrench.

Square

Square drive increases productivity with excellent torque transmission and resistance to cam-out.

Torx

Positive-engaging, fast-locating method of transmitting torque and optimizing worker efficiency. Reduces unauthorized removal. Requires Torx® driver.
