Did you know?

Here is an interesting fact about the name: S.D.S. Even though it is generally believed that it stands for ‘Slotted Drive System’, also sometimes called Slotted drive shaft or even Special direct system; this may not entirely be true.

Since it was invented in Germany out of the primary need to penetrate through concrete blocks, it was then termed as Stecken Drehen Sichern which in English means "Insert. Twist. Secure". Or it may have been ‘Steck dreh sitzt’; another Deutsche phrase translating to insert, twist, and fit.

But we may never be perfectly sure.
