Did you really shitpost? Or did you go fishing?
Was indeed a big catch
Agreed, Phillips needs to get Thanos'd.
Torx screws 4 lyfe
Same with slotted, hate them with a passion, especially when it's those with the raise head
Yeah, they're literally made to cam out.
Useful for automation, but terrible for repairs.
And the automation argument isn't as important now that electric drills all have clutches.
I also watch AVE, but it's Philips heads that were made for early assembly line use to cam out under torque. Specifically for the Model-T if I remember correctly.
Never watched AVE, I used to be an auto tech.
The Wikipedia article has an interesting summary.
Looks like it wasn't intended by the initial patent, but was discovered as a useful property.
