Why do Americans still use slotted screws ?

you Are the man!

 

my original Crap ones were from Harbor Crap!

 

That's probably where mine were from also, we only used them for certain jobs so the few bits we had posted awhile till we go proper ones.

 

Used to use em for the subtop for pewter counter tops.

 

I used the GRK Cabinet screws to mount wood countertops to cabinets through oblonged holes in the cabinet tops

The fasteners we used worked fine, I forget the brand, but they were the kind that flare out at the head so no need to CS.

 

Yeah thats the nice thing about the head on the Cabinets screws , there is a large surface area to hold it while still allowing for movement to accomidate seasonal expansion and contraction of the wooden countertop

 

Trim head.

I'm no dead tree fornicator, was just forced to dabble in it from time to time.

 

They have those too

I can't believe you guys took 38 pages of "my screw is better than yours" and NOBODY described the best screw they ever had..!!

Discusting, really...!! I thought you guys were better than this.!

 

*disgusting

 

A while back there was a big storm in Washington state and we sent down a few dozen telephone guys with vans to help clean up for a couple weeks.

Of course we all used number two Robinson screws for everything. Apparently the Verizon guys were cursing us for years afterwards as they couldn't get any of those screws out! Hahahaha

 

Bahahahaha that’s pretty funny! I was doing something a couple months ago and had to deal with stupid slotted screws. I went and found one or two none slotting screws that worked, I threw the slotted screws in the trash where they belong. Lol

 

Old thread is old

 

Maybe, But the hate for slotted screws will never die.

 

Hard to argue

 

Americans are masochistic: We enjoy the pain of the screwdriver sliding out of the screw and gouging into our work piece or our hand.

 

Ain't that the truth

 

They are an anti theft device. Like a stick shift millennials can't handle them.
