Stainless screw supplier: Do you know the origin of slotted, cross, and socket head screws?

In the age of industrial development, it was believed that everyone could find at least one screw in their home. Well, do you know the screws with a slotted head, cross head, and socket head? Please read the following from Shi Shi Tong stainless screw supplier.

In the early days, people did not make a matching screwdriver when making screws. When they needed screws to be fixed, they usually used hard small iron pieces to hit the screws. However, the fixation effect of this method was not very good, so later people invented slotted screws. The appearance of the slotted screw makes it easy to screw, but it is not easy to remove the screw. So the slotted-head screwdriver was invented. As the number of times that using screwdriver changes more, people discovered that screwdriver’s use made slip very easily in slotted screws, it would damage the groove type of screw, reduce fastening effect, and slotted screw could also scratch screwdriver head very easily. Then came the cross screw. The length of the slot of the cross screw is half shorter than that of the slotted screw, but it can withstand the same amount of torque as the slotted head screw. In addition, not only the ability to resist damage is greatly improved, but also can automatically lock the screwdriver.

At present, people prefer hexagon screws, because the slotted screws and cross screws are easy to gouge, and the shape of the hexagon is more stable. It also can withstand a very large torque, so it is not easy to be twisted when in use. In addition, hexagonal socket screws are aesthetically pleasing and they can be hidden in the workpiece to avoid any bumps or hand injuries. But the loading and unloading of socket screws must use matched hex spanner, people need to buy matched tools to use.
