My old HD used to carry a drywall sort of screw that had the square
drive. No longer.

HD and Lowes carry deck screws with star heads. HD has them at one
extreme end of the screw area and Lowes usually has them in their own
space somewhere near the nails. Each box comes with the start driver
(a tiny one) and for some reason they have a few different sizes which
can be a hassle. I have an Itsy setup from Rockler that has all the
drivers I could want so I am usually good.

Do you mean Torx head screws?


They're not Torx. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torx
Square bits are square http://www.wihatools.com/700seri/718serie.htm


The discussion moved on to "star heads." Torx is exactly what they are.

I've got bits to drive Phillips, Torx, square, straight, Allan, straight
slotted, and a couple different sizes of sheet metal screws for my drivers
and I use them all!
