<p>A spiral drive system for threaded fasteners (10) includes driver-engageable surfaces on the head end (16) of the fastener (10) in which at least some of the driver-engageable surfaces are defined by a spiral segment (8) configured to maximize torque transmission while spreading the driving load over a broad driver-fastener interface to reduce the risk of development of high stress regions. Drivers (4) and related tooling also are disclosed.</p> |
