The 12-spline flange screw drive has twelve splines in the fastener and tool. It consists of 12 equally spaced protrusions, each with a 60° angle. It is achieved overlaying 4 equilateral triangles, each one rotated 30° over the previous one. The spline drive was part of the obsolete, U.S-designed Optimum Metric Fastener System and was defined by ASTM B18.2.7.1M, which was withdrawn in 2011, [81] making the spline drive obsolescent.

ISO 8764 has superseded JIS B 1012 in Japan as well as being used in many other countries. The standard specifies that drivers and bits are to be marked with a "PH" or "PZ" followed by the size number (000, 00, 0, 1, 2, 3), though not all manufacturers do this. [32] Tri-Wing Screwdriver.

On paper, it differs a lot from Phillips, but in real life, people often confuse the two – which results in damaged screws that can no longer be unscrewed even using a matching screwdriver.

Care should be taken not to confuse the name of this pattern with the casual phrase "spline head" which usually refers to the XZN pattern. Before a more detailed story about the standards, I’ll briefly explain the main differences. Starting with a picture: The differences between JIS and Phillips screwdriver tips Klaus shared some interesting information and links in his comments on this article ( Klaus’ comments on JIS). Based on that info, JIS has not been made obsolete, but most screwdriver manufacturers have stopped marking their tools using JIS and started marking their tools using ISO and DIN standards – i.e. the screwdrivers are marked as Phillips.

The most common type of fastener has got to be the #2 Phillips head bit, but we’ve even seen adaptation here The name “Phillips” comes from its inventor Henry F Phillips in the 1930s These types of screwdrivers have a pointed cross-head tip that matches a self-centering, cross-head screw. Is Torx better than PZ I put all the knowledge and experience that I have so far into this article (and made the brief video demonstration of the problem). Nothing more, nothing less. When I learn new things and get new information, I update my articles. Fortunately, I don’t get to choose how our educational system is set up. One worry (tough choice) less. 🙂 Note the small lines on the Pozidriv screws between the large cross-flats – that’s how they are easily recognized
