Socket Countersunk Screws

Also known as star, 6 lobe, and hexalobular internal. Torx screws are commonly found on cars, motorcycles, bicycle brake systems, hard disk drives, computer systems and consumer electronics and are becoming increasingly popular. Once, they were typically used in applications requiring tamper resistance; as drivers became more common, specific tamper-resistant variants were developed. The Torx design allows for a higher torque to be exerted than a similarly sized conventional hex socket head.

A tamper resistant torx driven screw requiring specialist drive tooling to fit and remove. The countersunk head is typically used in conjunction with a countersunk hole providing a flush, snag free fit. Great for anti-vandalism solutions or where a degree of security is required. Also known as Star Drive or Six Lobe Drive.

A countersunk headed screw conforming with ISO 10642 or DIN 7991, requiring a hex key (otherwise known as an Allen key) to fit. The countersunk head is typically used in conjunction with a countersunk hole providing a flush, snag free fit. Generally manufactured with a full thread, though occasionally some stock may include a partially threaded shank. The head diameter is slightly larger than that of the equivalent DIN 965 Phillips or Pozi driven screw.

A countersunk headed screw conforming with ASME/ANSI B18.3, requiring a hex key (otherwise known as an Allen key) to fit. The countersunk head is typically used in conjunction with a countersunk hole providing a flush, snag free fit. Generally manufactured with a full thread, though occasionally some stock may include a partially threaded shank.
