        Blame Henry Ford. The superior screw head style was available to him, but he refused to use it.

              Robertson is incredible, in Canada it is often used to build outdoor patio for instance, it's magical to use, I love those screws

                  Phillips? JIS? Only way to find out is to ruin that screw!

                    I think your drill is the machine that does that, though.

                      Torx needs to become the standard for screws. They are just better in every way.

                        You can accidentally strip a Phillips by hand if you have a half decent driver and a normal quality screw

                          It's kinda funny that a screwhead intended to solve one problem went on to create an arguably worse problem for many applications.

                          Shoulda just payed Robertson.

                            Use your drill's clutch, people (yeah you can strip with a hand driver but that's clearly a drill)

                                  The Nordics are far ahead in this. Torx everywhere.

                                    The main problem wthe the X shaped model is that there are so many different versions with different angles and points oe lack thereof that it can be hard to tell which is which at a glance, increasing the chance of stripping if you don't check for proper fit.

                                    Not to mention you might be working on something where the prior person mixed and matched different screws head types on the same project!
