it’s single valid use: somewhere that you may not have tools but might require an impromptu fix… preferably paired with a much larger screw than technically required so you can use things like coins as a driver

Yeah, like mounting plates for cameras…. Um, I think that’s the only place I’ve appreciated a slot screw

Sewing machine too! Always using scissors to open that slot screw to change the needle

We put slots on the thumbscrews used on some of our connectors for military radios. This was a soldier can open or tighten them down with a knife blade.

No.

Thumbscrews, or wingnuts.
