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



--Winston -- Helix'ed a few Allen wrenches though.

It was (and I suppose still is) standard procedure to use a hammer/
impact driver on those screws. Virtually impossible to cam out when
you've hit it with a BFH.
Virtually?
I have "hogged out" phillips and posidrive screws with a hammer impact
driver. Does that count? The head ended up with a nice conical
depression in the center. Worked good as a center drill to start /
center the drill to drill the head off.
