Your favourite screw head

Arran Cameron

What is your favourite screw head for small machine and self tapping screws? Is it Slotted, Pozidriv, Torx, JIS B 1012, or do you prefer something more exotic like Pentalobe or Tri-Wing?

    Easydriv does not appear in the Wikipedia list. What usual format is it nearest to?  Often the trouble with free driver bits is that they are cheap and not long-lasting. I wonder why Wickes thought a special format was a good idea?


    It might have helped if I spelled the name right.  They are called "Wickes Easy Drive".  They look like a variant of Pozidriv, but instead of one indent between each of the 4 points of the cross, it alternates between one and two indents.  The special bit was a lot blunter than a normal Pozi no 2 bit.


    It doesn't look like it really caught on, as I can't even find them on Wickes' web site any more.


    They are nothing like Screwfix Easy Drive!
