I go out of my way to get pozidrive screws - what's the big idea with
people still using straight ones? Eg in sockets.
Pozidrive selfcentres, and doesn't slip out. And I find it's less likely
to burr.
Yes torx would be even better, but pozidrive is a start.
Even more annoying ius when they are cross haed of inderterminate type ...
no extra x so they they be phillips ... yet angle is wrong and Phillipos
drivers simply cam out.
As to why we won;t go all Pozi ... simple, US uses choses not to use Pozi.
