Square-Phillips Recess or Combo Drive offers the positive fit of Square/ Robertson® recess with the after-market serviceability of Phillips drive. A square bit is used to insert the screw and a Phillips driver can be used to remove the screw at the after-market level. Like the square drive, the Combo drive requires a minimum amount of pressure (appx. 4.5 foot pounds) to keep the bit engaged in the head. This reduces the possibility of carpal-tunnel syndrome for workers that drive screws all clay long on a production line.
