The Perfect Gift: A Tool Box

I would think one advantage of square drive would be it is nearly
impossible to strip the drive hole, unlike Phillips and especially hex
(Allen). I think I'll scout around for some for my next building
project in 6-32, 8-32 and 10-32.

Who knows, might even try metric sizes.

I have never seen them with machine screw threads, only as wood
screws.

Ah, you poor deprived person! Got 'em aplenty up
here in the Great White North!

Well, I've never seen them in the sunny south. I'll just keep using
Torx and Allen screws, thank you. The Allen screws have served me well
since the '60s, and the Torx for over a decade. maybe you need them up
there to be able to hold on to the screw with your hand shaking while
you try to get it started into the threads? ;-)
