Also now used as a versatile fixing for many applications in DIY, Joinery, Plumbing and Electrical trades.;The Zinc Yellow Passivation process of electroplating is similar to the 'Galvanised' and 'Zinc Plated' processes but with the addition of a yellow dye. It offers an aesthetically pleasing finish, whilst having excellent resistance to corrosion.;By design, TORX head screws resist cam-out much better than Phillips or Slotted screws. Where Phillips heads were designed to cause the driver to cam out, to prevent over-tightening, TORX heads were designed to prevent it and to achieve a desired torque consistently. TORX head sizes are described using the capital letter 'T', followed by a number. A smaller number corresponds to a smaller point-to-point dimension of the screw head. Only the proper driver can drive a specific head size without risk of ruining the driver or screw.;High-Low Thread screws have an excellent holding power in wood due to their alternating high and low thread heights.
