Situation: There are 20 screw standards.

John Corporate: “20 standards… I know, I’ll create a new type of screw that will be unique to my corporate overlords and prevent users from repairing their own devices!”

Situation: There are 21 screw standards.

Torx is great but fuck security torx

Torx is the only head that needs to exist. The rest can go fuck a rusty chainsaw.

Robertson, hex and torx should be on that list, the rest of that shit can stay in the scrap bin of designs

Torx or Robertson, are the only ones worth a damn.

Anyone who willfully uses a slotted screw on a new project in the presence of even somewhat reasonable alternatives should have a lifetime ban on designing any items for anyone.

Also, use Robertsons, gink.

The torx are the most resistant, the rest can also cease to exist.

Square drive on personal projects, forever and always. Maybe I’m buying the wrong torx, Phillips, and flat screws, but they strip out way too often. I’ve never had issues with square drive screws no matter where or how I use them
