A 500+ million dollar budget and you can't even take a proper picture.

I feel like a + shaped screw head would be as standard as a pyramid if multiple civilizations had developed screws independently. It wouldn't be the last kind, but it would be there somewhere. Maybe even a long, long time ago.

I think a single slotted screw head would be more universal and easy. You just cut one line into the top of the screw head and your ready to go. A Philips head would need to be cut twice and once you did, you've weakened the head one degree more by removing more material

Its all fun and games until the Canadians show up.

As an American, we made a mistake in not adopting those. Torx or whatever isn't even as good.

[–] [email protected] 78 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Torx is better than whatever this Canadian abomination is. You'd only put pressure on the corners in a realistic setting. These would get rounded so fast unless they are massive, like on some differentials or gearbox oil drains.

This guy mechanics

Indeed torx is so good because it attempts to maximize the surface where pressure is applied to. This is good on smaller sized bolts that are more prone to being rounded, but especially amazing when removing bolts that may have been exposed and potentially corroded

May the Philips be with you.

You'd think that they would have switched to Pozidriv.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Why? Torx is better in every way. If you are going to change, why half ass it to Phillips 2.0
