I was looking for Torx/Slotted screws and I found a few strange screw types with strange drives, Have you ever seen any of them or a screwdriver bit for these?!

This appears to be a combination drive, accepting both Torx and flat head screwdriver.

Yes, I know. I use Torx screwdriver bits for them, but we can use Square screwdriver bit for ECX also, why they made a special bit for them then?! I have not seen Square/Slotted bits in UK by now.

Most ball head fastener images I located showed either having a shoulder, an Allen hex drive receptacle, or both. Some also have a larger hex drive shoulder.

 

The ones w/ the larger hex drive shoulder appear to be applicable for usage as part of a ball joint system, w/ the shoulder being used to provide strength.

This one might be for light use manually?!

There have been infrequent encounters for me on ECX screws, always on electrical parts. I just ordered those Milwaukee bits for that usage.

 

Many times I was able to use square drive bits for tightening, so I used that drive bit.
