Square-Drive it is, then! Thanks all!

The reason I asked is that stainless is so different. Soft at first,
but hard as hell when you push it. Tried to saw the top off a beer keg
with my saber saw, and wound up breaking every blade. My brother the
machinist just laughed when I told him.

I am building a deck and have found the least-expensive stainless

stainless is another animal, and I don't have enough experience to know
if possibly Phillips will work better for these deck screws.

I have searched rec.woodworking for advice, but haven't found any
directly applilcable.

Any thoughts?

I have used both and prefer the square drive. I've pretty much switched
to square for woodworking.
mahalo,
