When a Phillips is not a Phillips Plus So Much More!

Step 55 Phillips IIŪ

[[br]]A recent evolution of the Phillips® design resulted in a next generation, patented Phillips II®. The ACR® improvement is basically a Phillips® screwdriver that has ACR® ribs, making it ideal for assembly line and home use. Phillips II® screws have ribs in the recess of the screw. The ribs mate with the ribs found on the Platinum tipped Phillips II® ACR® driver bit. This rib-to-rib connection allows for driving in and backing out the screw. The ribs are on either or both the driving and removal faces on the wings. The patented anti camout ribs (ACR®) guarantee stick fit, easier drive and less fatigue. Deck Mate™ screws are a good example of these and the Deck Mate™ driver bit often comes with the screws. Screw heads are marked with double hash marks 45° to cross recess.

The rib-to-rib connection allows for more torque, off-angle driving, heads that will not snap off, and screws that will not strip. You will never have another stripped screw that cannot be removed! You can not drive a square drive or a star drive off angle! Proprietary threads means faster drive. Patented anti-camout ribs (ACR®), guarantee stick fit, easier drive and less fatigue. Deck Mate™ screws can be driven with #2 Phillips® or #2 Square Driver bits but for best performance use Deck Mate™ driver bits with ACR®. You will never have a stripped screw that cannot be removed.

Deck Mate is owned by Home Depot and they have changed manufacturers so they no longer use this bit.  The manufacturers website: http://www.deckmatescrews.com/   These can now be purchased at Lows under the Phillips II Plus label.
