What’s the use of the groove screw?

There are many groove screw in the screw, the most common is the phillips recessed and slotted, hexagon socket, six lobe so on.

The phillips is more tightly contacted with the screwdriver than the slotted, so it is not easy to slide the thread, so the most commonly used on the market is the phillips screw . But generally the slotted screw is used to cut the slot process to complete, so the appearance will be more beautiful than the phillips.

Generally speaking, hexagonal groove screw are used in mobile 、computer products. I think the reason why manufacturers use hexagonal screws is to consider making it inconvenient for users to disassemble because it has six corners, so it is tight. High strength screws on the market are hexagon or torx . You can tighten the screws more tightly.

In some places that need frequent demolition, because the hexagon groove screw is strong in skid resistance, it is better to use six corners inside. Multiple dismantling is easy to cause screw slippage. Shi Shi Tong Screw Factory has tried, ordinary phillips if screw tighter, dismantling once on the screw damage once. The screws will slip after several times, depending on the accuracy of the screws. Some not only skidded but occasionally broke the screws. Generally speaking, the hexagon screw is 2 times the phillips screw.
