2. Robertson screw - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robertson_screw

   The internal-drive square socket for screws (as well as the corresponding triangular socket drive) had been conceived several decades before the invention of the Robertson screw and driver. An earlier patent covering both square-socket- and triangle-socket -drive wood screws, U.S. patent 161,390 , was issued to Allan Cummings of New York City ...

3. Nut driver - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nut_driver

   A nutdriver or nut driver is a hand tool for tightening or loosening nuts and bolts. It essentially consists of a socket attached to a shaft and cylindrical handle and is similar in appearance and use to a screwdriver. [1] They generally have a hollow shaft to accommodate a shank onto which a nut is threaded.

4. List of screw and bolt types - Wikipedia

   The screw itself should be drilled a minimum of 1" into the concrete to hold effectively and a maximum of 1-3/4" or the threads will wear and will lose holding power. Ideally 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" of screw thread in the concrete. [1] So for example, if a 1/2" board is being screwed onto the concrete, a 1-3/4" to 2" concrete screw should be used ...

   These are designed to engage with the tool used to tighten them. Some bolt heads instead lock the bolt in place, so that it does not move and a tool is only needed for the nut end. Common bolt heads include hex, slotted hex washer, and socket cap. The first bolts had square heads, formed by forging. These are still found, although much more ...

7. Hex key - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hex_key

   The idea of a hex socket screw drive was probably conceived as early as the 1860s to the 1890s, but such screws were probably not manufactured until around 1910. Rybczynski (2000) describes a flurry of patents for alternative drive types in the 1860s to the 1890s in the U.S., [2] which are confirmed to include internal-wrenching square and triangle types (that is, square and triangular sockets ...
