Hillman HOMEPAK 42172 Flat Head Square Drive Wood Screws 6 inches, Zinc

Have been dealing with regular Phillips screws all my life. After discovering that square drive (also called Robertson drive) is actually a standard in Canada, I decided to try them out and I was sold immediately! The square drive seems superior in every aspect. * The electric screwdriver does not jump out from the screw randomly * The whole experience feels --- how should I say it -- very stable and effortless. Note that: * All #6 screws require drive S1 (Square drive size 1) * All #8 screws require drive S2 (Square drive size 2) Highly recommend it! At least try it out -- you'll never go back.

Got here asap.

If you're not using square drive screws I don't even know what you're doing with your life. The reason for four stars instead of five is that some of the screws in here use a size 1 bit and some a size 2. The size 2 is readily available but the size 1 less so. Be careful! If you're used to phillips drive, where too much torque without enough pressure causes cam out (stripping the head of the screw and the driver), you may find yourself breaking off the screw in your workpiece. The square drive meshes so well that the screw will frequently shear before the bit slips. Use a lower torque setting on your variable torque clutch and drill a pilot hole!

These screws sold me on square drive--I love them. After stripping out some cheap screws that came with my curtain rods, I bought these. I had 6 curtain rods to hang, and these worked like a charm. SO much better!

Not well made, just buy a better brand.

Changing from Phillips to the much better square drive is difficult if you buy one size at a time. An assortment is much better and less expensive. You only need a couple of drivers.

A handy tool to have in your bag

I purchased over a year ago, and when I finally needed the smaller diameter screws, the bit does not fit in the square in the screw. In fact, none of the bits available fit in the screws. I was only able to use half of these screws.

Contains a good selection of common flat head fasteners

Variedad , calidad a un buen precios

Great quality screws, strong, sharp and perfectly fitted heads. Will buy again! Edit: Been buying this brand screws for years and years. They're great, strong, won't strip or break. They're pretty good against rusting as well.

Good deal for the money

they seem ok but wont know till I use them. I do need a 2” so wish they included that length. Il update after I need to use them.
