My old HD used to carry a drywall sort of screw that had the square

Compared to phillips, the square drive just seems superior to me. Am
I dreaming?

I don't need high quality screws for most of what I do -- and if I do,
I'm fine with getting them.

HD / Lowes now sells a 5# box of phillips drywall screws for around
18. I'm looking for something equivalent but with square drive.

Or -- has square drive just become obsolete? Do I need to get out
more?


I will second Mcfeeleys screw. Unfortunately they will be higher
quality that what you are looking for but will most likely be
considerably less expensive that what you are buying now. Buy in lots
of at least 100 at a time. Basically their average woodworking screw is
5 cents.
