What are drive screws used for?

Fixing cladding, fibre-cement and profiled sheet to timber. They hammer in like a nail but the helical shank grips like a screw, so they hold far better than a plain nail.

Are drive screws hammered or driven with a driver?

Hammered. The helical thread makes them spin and bite as they go in, so you get screw-like hold with the speed of a nail.

Can you remove a drive screw?

They are designed to stay put, not to back out cleanly. To remove one, lever it out with a claw or pliers as you would a stubborn nail.
