I have yet to 'cam out' my first hex socket head
cap screw. Phillips are a different story however.


I despise Phillips head screws. Try taking out the one on a
Salt Belt car's headlight rim...^%(*%^%^^(^

Try a paste of Comet Cleaner and water applied to
the grooves before putting the driver in. And use
new high-quality drivers.

I bought some Philips drivers that have laser-cut "teeth" so they
bite in on the sides. Better than nothing.

I like the PoziDrive type screws which can take either Phillips or
Square drivers. Of the many types of Phillips screw heads, I adore
the ACR drives. They damnear prevent camout...while they're fresh.


I prefer Torx; one of the very few good inventions of Generous Motors.

And Robertson, of course, especially with the genuine hardened bits.

Ditto both.
