Default Hex head vs hex socket head

Sometimes you can break the cap screw loose with a chisel and hammer.
Phillips screws can easily get screwed up by using a worn screwdriver or
the wrong size screw driver.


A common problem -- because the right size Phillips driver
*looks* too big. If you can't train people to feel for minimum slack in
the fit of the bit to the screw slot, you will have a lot of munged
heads and bits.

Enjoy,
