    Don't know what country you are in - Aus ? Here in the UK the pozidrive (PZ) is far more popular than phillips. They are better as the have extra flutes between the 4 main wings - similar to phillips but the extra flutes give more head-driver contact. Although the bits look similar they are not really compatible between phillips and pozi as the phillips bit will not fit in a pozi screw well. At the moment Torx (star) screws are becoming more popular. The square drive you mentioned is a 'Robertson' scew named after the inventor a Canadian engineer. Don't see them in the UK unless you buy from specialist suppliers but they are apparently pretty good.

    Hi Bill, Great info. I am trying to joint a 45mm timber board with a 35mm steel square tube parallelly. Is it better to drill from the wood to the steel or the otherway around? Also what should be the length of the screws. 75 mm good enough?. I will be using the self drilling screw as you demonstrated. In general when you are pre drilling, what should be the drill size compare to the screw guage inorder to create a tight bond without splitting the timber?

    If you're trying to drill a screw in stainless steel I'm assuming you would need another stainless steel screw to use that way nothing rusts. But do you think you could tell me what type of screw I would need something short to put into a stainless steel beaker?

    In the UK we have PZ screws, they look like Phillips to the untrained eye, but actually have 8 contact points. most people don't know this and so they use the wrong bit on their driver and it rounds the pz head off.

    Might be worth pointing out that the screws with a head, like the button screw, are designed for when you want the screw to hold something down, like a sheet of metal for example.
