Factually incorrect.
Torx and Square/Robertson are superior, Hex/Allen and Phillips are allowed a seat on this council but not granted the rank of master, Posidriv is theoretically Phillips++ but only to the six people in the world that know what it is and own a Posidriv screwdriver, to everyone else it's that goddamn Phillips that keeps camming out. JIS is parallel universe Phillips, it's exactly as reasonably okay as Phillips is for identical reasons, the biggest problem is that they exist alongside and closely resemble Phillips screws. Everything else except slotted is a mental disorder, and slotted was dropped on its head as a child.
What the actual fuck is a 'S type' screw? What purpose does that have that another normal screw type cannot provide? What madness is this?!
Holy hell the entirety of Lemmy just exposed themselves as retarded jobless people.
Six lobe, or torx, is fucking awesome when screwing in serious screws. It's the reason why it replaced all philips and most hex heads.
Slotted screws are the fucking worst. You guys have never worked a blue collar job in your lives ๐คฃ๐๐ญ
My first thought was, "this post brought to you by not mechanics." Otherwise they'd recognize the superiority of hex and torx over Philips and especially flat. But then I realized this is, in fact, a very shit post.
Phillips and pozi are actually designed to cam out (look it up on wikipedia). Started using torx a few years ago and I will never go back to pz again, even if it's on the clock and someone else is paying for materials.
Flat head still has it's place IMO, for example on machinery that gets used out in the field where you might need to improvise a driver out of a knife or coin or something.
Ph and pz are the work of the devil though.
This man clearly works in the field. Torx is the head to rule them all, except below T15 then it's a pain, and you break more bits than you put in screws.
We're screwed
There's a distinct lack of love for pozidrive here. It's like Phillips but without being shit.
I came here to show love for Robertson, but it looks like I didn't need to. You guys are the best. ๐
The worst one I ever came across was five lobe tamperproof on a Seagate external hdd. Couldn't find any bits for it that didn't have to be imported. Ended with a rather destructive disassembly
Pentalobe screws are used by Apple, was surprised not to see them listed. They also use a strange tri on some old batteries.
Torx and PZ ftw.
Also, I'd like to apologise to the future owner of my house for making several constructions using both in no particular order.
Fuck Phillips screws
If they aren't made of material that is so easy to strip, they give you a lot more purchase than flat-heads.
They are specifically designed to cam out at high torque.
Robertson screws are where it's at
They y-type screw is obnoxious.
I've only encountered those on Nintendo products, they are the worst.
Clutch screw aka the green lantern corp screw
Cue all the Canadians pretending anyone gives a shit about their goofy chamfered square deck screws.
I don't know what you're talking about. They're naturally superior.
Apparently I don't know shit about handywork since everyone here is swooning about Torx and I don't even have an idea what they are
