High-Torque Screwdriver Tips

The Phillips Screw Company designed the cruciform-style screwdriver tip to facilitate faster, high-torque screwing on assembly lines. Their line of high-torque driver tips has since grown to include the "TORQ-SET," "Mortorq," "TRI-WING" and "POZIDRIV" heads. The original Phillips head would "cam out," a term for the driver separating from the screw head, when the screw's maximum torque is reached -- a design flaw remedied on the newer high-torque driver tips.
  1. TORQ-SET

    • Designed for aerospace applications, the offset TORQ-SET puts a twist, literally, on the original cruciform Phillips head. Available globally, interchangeable with ACR TORQ-SET heads, the TORQ-SET provides a "torque-able" head that lasts and won't strip during installation.

    Mortorq

    • The Mortorq screwdriver tip uses a variation of the cruciform design that includes a flat and rounded edge to each wing. The driver bit makes full contact with the flat surface of each wing, facilitating high torque without risk of damaging the driver bit or screw. Additionally, the Mortorq head is low-profile, allowing for installation in thinner materials.

    TRI-WING

    • The unique TRI-WING shape prevents tampering while allowing the driver bit to fully contact the flat edge of each wing -- a design characteristic necessary for high-torque applications. Because the wings fully contact the driver bit, cam-out is less likely to happen, extending the life span of the driver bit.

    POZIDRIV

    • Designed for high-volume, assembly line applications, the POZIDRIV cruciform high-torque screwdriver tip eliminates damaged screws, reduces cam-out at higher torques and self-centers the driver bit, extending the life span of the tool while reducing worker fatigue.
