Screw Drivers

SolomonsIsland

Hello from Maryland,

What type of screw drivers do I need for the 2015 MAX S? Nothing I have seems to fit and I don't want to strip anything.

Thanks!

Verna

A #2 and a #3 square drive. #2 is the most frequently used. I use the bits in my cordless drill.

You're welcome.

As a bit of trivia, square headed screws are a Canadian invention. They were developed by the P. L. Robertson Company in 1908. The U.S. counterpart is the Torx, which was designed for use by automated assembly systems. The patent rights to the Robertson design have been expired since 1964 so they are more prevalent than they were a number of years ago.

I love square drive screws in my woodworking and home repairs. They're harder to strip the heads than Phillips and pan head. The pocket screws are square drive are so much easier to drive in than other types. Just a lot easier. Maybe I should get a couple of screw drivers instead of relying on my cordless drill driver and bits, but I do have a couple of screwdrivers that have exchangeable bits.

I know I've replaced a few with Phillip's head style screws.

Verna- you can use small flat head screwdrivers if your in a pinch. They fit in catty-cornered sufficient enough to turn the screw.

And then there're the durn star-headed screws (I thought those were what they called torx screws...)

I'd just got used to the square ones, which I actually like for being hard to strip, and then them danged star-headed screws came along.

I just went to Lowes and bought a screwdriver/head set with every type of head known to mankind. 48 tips/heads as I recall for about $30-35 bucks.

48, eh? That gives me hope...

They had sets of 24, 36 & 48. Every type including stars
