I was given a few hundred deck screws. These are in a plastic carrier and were used on an automated gun of some type.
The head looks like this attached thumbnail.
Does anybody know the mane of this head or where I can get a bit to drive these screws.
They look strong and are coated so I could get lots of use from them, if I can drive them.
Thanks in advance.

Closest i've gotten so far is a "Torq-set" screw:

Yep I looked it up and LOX is definetly it.
Thanks for the help.
Now I need to determine if it is #2 or #3, finsd a source and buy the bit.

In my previous lifetime, we would have referred to that as a Seriously-Wierd-Wrenching-Feature, and thrown it out. Torq-sets rule, but are a PITA because every size fastener requires a different size bit.

Hitachi sells those screws for use with automatic feed deck screw guns. The screws are extremely tough.
Hitachi also sells the feeders and bits.
