Fasteners for Woodworking

Drive styles are several, but here we explore the ones that are ideal for woodworking projects. They range from many variations of the Phillips drive to various polygon and hex-shaped drives. Combination drives like the pozidrive are also useful, and they can be driven with a star-shaped driver bit, or a square-shaped driver bit, or one that combines the two.

  • Cross-head Phillips Drive: Developed in the 1930s with the specific intent of correcting the problem of screws slipping out of the slot in the case of slotted drives, these have come to be regarded as an ideal choice for woodworking. They endow screwdrivers with better grip when driving the screws.
  • Square-head Drive: Though relatively new, they are a popular choice among woodworkers. They are crafted to grip better, provide greater resilience, than traditional flat-head and Phillips screws. One variation is characterised by a hex-shaped recess drive opening. The drill-driver bit is shaped in accordance with the recess in the screw head.
  • Star Drive: These have slots on the heads designed in a distinct star shape, with six to eight sides. These are available in many variations, often with drive shapes that are unique to the fastener manufacturer. Torx is the most popular of these brands; but the Pozidrive and Polydrive are also extremely popular choices for woodworking.
