[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 43 points 1 month ago (5 children) You found one that is objectively worse than Phillips. (Because it's just the worst, period.) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] ceenote@lemmy.world 32 points 1 month ago The only one worse than Phillips, even. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ACindyDerg@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago (1 child) How are they worse? I've so rarely dealt with them that idk permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] davidgro@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 child) The screwdriver slips out of the side of the screw as you turn it. They can be extremely frustrating. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ACindyDerg@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 point 1 month ago Ah, I have only ever interacted with them with things that were way bigger than the screw. Which leads into the advantage for people who don't interact with them often: anything flat fits, so if you have a knife, coin, nail file, etc. you can still unscrew them permalink fedilink source parent [–] runner_g@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago (1 child) I think Phillips would looks weird on an outlet cover plate, and the aesthetics of a flathead look the best. But for sure everywhere else it's the worst screw head type permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] davidgro@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago I think Phillips would look fine, especially if it's painted like those screws always are. And there are still other solutions, for example square drive (the bits are rare, but would be easy enough to just sell next to the plates if it became popular) permalink fedilink source parent [–] isleepinahammock@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago (1 child) OTH, you can make a flathead screw with a rod, a hammer, and a hacksaw. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 1 month ago At that point, make a second groove for a cross head and saw the tip off a Philips driver. That way, it doesn't cam out easily or slide out the side. permalink fedilink source parent [+] OwOarchist@pawb.social 1 point 1 month ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
