    Slotted screws are evil, just saying. Restored an old Coast Guard surf boat years ago. Had to use period screws, brass slotted, major pain in the ass.

    I believe torques fasteners.

    My problem with those is the bit tends to shear or bend easier.

    Torx , and I've never had a bit shear or cam out with those screws

    I especially like the RSS and Cabinet installation screws

    Really?

    I've hardly used them, really only when fitting trim to subtops, and they were small, forget what size now. And cheap bits.

    Now that I'm thinking about it they were shitty ones from a security bit set. Once we destroyed those and got decent ones it wasn't a problem.
