Thread: Looking for the name for this screw head

  1. #1

    Looking for the name for this screw head

    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:

    Smile LOX: Now I've seen everything

    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.
