Review on πŸ”© Enhancing Your Home Projects with HOMEPAK 42172 Square Drive Screws by Chris Owens

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Much better than Phillips!

If you don't use square head screws I don't even know what you do with your life. The reason for four stars instead of five is that some screws here use size 1 and others use size 2. Size 2 is readily available, but size 1 is smaller. Be careful! If you're used to a Phillips head where too much torque without enough pressure will cause the cam to loosen (remove screw head and screwdriver) you can break the screw in the work piece. The square engages so well that the screw is often sheared off before the bit has slipped off. Use a lower torque on the variable torque coupling and drill a pilot hole!
