Default Best screw head that won't strip

I like the square drive because the driver will hold the screw for
easier work in difficult to reach locations. I haven't tried the star
so maybe it does the same.


I hadn't really noticed the screws wanting to stick on the bits with the
stars. The way they work, transmiting torque via the lobes, it's possible
for the fit to be loose or sloppy and still drive screws perfectly.
