Notwithstanding unique head styles there are two fundamental head opening styles – the conventional opened head style and the purported cross-head style. Tragically, there are three cross-head styles which can be hard to distinguish. The most natural one – Pozidriv is found principally on wood screws. The later Supadriv head is comparable and is said to give more grasp between the screw and screwdriver, however practically speaking with wood screws the thing that matters isn’t critical. The third style, known as Phillips, is found mostly on machine and self-tapping screws fitted to items produced on the Landmass and in the Far East.

Conventional opened head screws are transformed through a solitary space into which a screwdriver sharp edge ought to fit cozily.
