    For the most part screws advanced with the advent of power tools (except for the slotted ones) Philips first, and in the 50's clutch head, Robertson then Posidrive, Torx but nothing yet beats a hammer!

    I would like to cordially extend an invitation for you to go forth and fornicate yourself.

    PS - electricians and plumbers don't design the materials they use, some dipshit engineer that's never touched a tool in his life (other than his own) does that.
