This makes me remember how happy I was when phillip heads became common and never had to deal with flat heads again. Well, anyway, square drives are better than phillips, but star drives are absolutely the best.
Star drive, big head or small and good selection at our real, local lumberyard.
U.S. made, or GRK. Chinese is soft and sizing of Recess is a guess.
Support your local yard! When they are all gone, you’ll wish you had!
