    Tamper-Resistant Tri-Groove-Drive Steel Round Head Screws

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Rounded Head Screws. Tamper-Resistant Tri-Groove-Drive Steel Round Head Screws.
    Good luck trying to force off these screws. The tri-groove drive has a sloped shape with three notches that makes it nearly impossible to grip without a tri-groove driver. They're often found on electrical boxes, machine control panels, and critical equipment where unauthorized access is a concern.
    Length is measured from under the head.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—A common choice for areas with occasional exposure to moisture.
    Power Tool Bits—Pair these bits with your power tools to turn screws more quickly than manual tools.

    Turn tri-groove screws with these bits. They're commonly used to fasten signs, lighting fixtures, and other types of public property.
    Quick-Change Hex Shank—Lock these bits directly into power tools. They won't wobble as much as bits paired with an adapter, so they are the best choice for high-precision tasks.
    Steel—Best for dry environments, since moisture will cause these bits to rust.

    Quick-Change Hex Shank—Lock these bits directly into power tools. They won't wobble as much as bits paired with an adapter, so they are the best choice for high-precision tasks.
    High-Speed Steel—Harder and more heat resistant than plain steel. These bits withstand the intense friction of high-speed power tools without deforming or softening.
