That's one of the beauties of square drive screws. One doesn't _have_
to keep much pressure on the bit.

Not much, true, but you do have to keep the bit in the screw head. I
think that's easier to do by pushing on the "butt" end of the adapter,
rather than gripping the narrow cylinder of the flex shaft. Easier to
keep it lined up properly too.


I like Philips over square heads, but I like torx over Philips. Only
problem with torx is, like the square drive, it must match the driver.
Philips gives you some slack. Still, if I were the screw god, I would
change all screw heads on earth to torx.



I worked with Torx back in the spring and wish all of my square drive
were Torx. You can keep the Philips head. ;~)


I'm with you, except when I have to fork over for Torx screws. ;-)
