Why do Americans still use slotted screws ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screw_drives

I stand corrected

 

I can't stand them either

 

The slot screw drive has a single slot in the fastener head and is driven by a flat-bladed screwdriver. It was the first type of screw drive to be developed, and for centuries it was the simplest and cheapest to make. The slotted screw is common in woodworking applications, but is not often seen in applications where a power tool would be used because a power driver tends to slip out of the head and potentially damage the surrounding material. The tool used to drive a slot is called a slot-head, flat-tip,[3] or flat head.[4]

 

Only time a Rob strips is over doing it with an impact driver , or a brass or zinc screw

 

Alternative lifestyle cutters to some

They are still around so you can use a different tool like your pocket knife when you are too lazy to go to the garage.

 

Are you suggesting Americans are lazy ?

 

For the most part , true

 

Negative, we goes to kitchen and uses butta knives, pocket knife too pointy.
