Why do Americans still use slotted screws ?

So do I sir. So do I.
Edit: I like to think of it as “freshness” on the topic.

 

Here, here!

 

Btw, I'm into stainless security tri-lobes for all applications now.

 

Because Henry Ford was a dick.

again...

 

I'm a Torx guy, have been since my first deck build. Except its more fun to call them by the generic name, hexalobular. Now thats a term that tends to confuse and upset people. Especially when slurred after four buildin' beers.

 

You're slurrin off 4 builder beers? Damn son, lay off the Belgian Trippels until after its built.

 

Trippels are my kitchen and grillin beer. Lagers are my gettin'-shit-done-in-the-sun beers. Tolerance has been low lately. Maybe I ought to have that checked out.

 

I say this out of humor and not intent:

"I went to the doctor and he was all"

 

Son of a bitch! YouTube algorithm fucked us again.

summbitch!

 

There's been some progress in 2020 I see

 

Old thread is old

we all use torx now

 

WTF is torx?

I just use the coin op ones.

 

I was on torx when this thread started. It's old fashioned. Passe. Last year.

The new hotness is the Number 3 Robertson head non-slip.



Try the square head. I went through less worn bits and stripped heads than I did when I was using torx. I'm team square now. It's the superior driver.
