1. That's a lovely 1 1/4" rounded-head phillips-drive AB-pointed screw you've got there.
I used to work in a screw factory, summer job in college.

3. AB is is what makes...
them pointy like that with razor-sharp threads. It allows them to be screwed straight into a solid material (like wood, sheetrock or plastic) without any pilot holes.

I can't be sure that it isn't torx-driven. They're usually not though because they're used in the building trade and most contractors haven't got the right equipment for torx. Phillips provides more control than flat in terms of driving a screw straight.

4. torx makes phillips seem like flat
and man will never be free until the last flat head screw user is strangled with the entrails of the last phillips head purveyor.


I feel strongly about head.

I'm square drive torx bob and I approve this driver.


:evilgrin:
