      Square is really good too.

      Phillips and flat head bits fit in a variety of sizes of screw heads. We seem to have chosen convenience over performance.

        If memory serves me correctly square drive is patented, & thus requires licensing, which is why it’s less commonly used.

        Pozidrive is a massive upgrade, if only people didn’t confuse it for Philips all the time

      This is the way. Also I’m new to Lemmy so forever will this be how I start my experience here.

      Torx is hands down better in every way than flathead and Phillips.
