What is labelled “flat” here I’ve only ever heard of as “countersunk” and what’s labelled as “slotted” I’ve only ever heard of as “flat head”. Also wtf is “PF”?
The one labelled phillips i only ever heard it being calles “cross” and the one labelled pozidriv i only heard it being called “star” but maybe is just my country
Fun fact, Henry Ford wanted to use them on his cars, but tried to screw Robertson in the deal. His petulance is the reason that Americans can’t benefit from this perfect design.

Yeah, in the US I’ve only heard “Philips” or occasionally “four way”. We say star here also though, but I think for the “six lobe” iirc
I had the same thought! Also I’ve only ever heard “torx” instead of “six lobe” although I’m guessing torx is a brand name.
“square” aka Robertson
I thought, for some reason, that Robertson was ostracized from the screw world.
Best drive going hands down. I don’t need a deliberate tourqe out to save my driver, I’m a big boy. Plus it usually just breaks the screw
In the USA maybe.
Everywhere else it’s pretty common.

I knew there was some reason for it, but I couldn’t get my brain to remember what it was; but this sounds familiar.
damn your area uses dumb names for things then lol
calling a drive type by the head shape, that’s wild
Thanks – little known fact, I time traveled to a hundred years ago to invent these terms.
