I got another email from the guy at Kreg over the weekend. He

they are going back to their traditional square-drive screws.

Wow, now that's some clever marketing-speak.
"We've had so little trouble with the new design that we're going back to
the old design."
Yeah! LOL we'll do what ever it takes ! To **** y'all off.

I'll bet that the new ones are cheaper. They changed to increase profit.
They seem to have found out that you get what you pay for.
Reminds me of the Coca Cola snafu ... new Coke (yuk) vs Coke Classic. "New and improved" usually means that someone forgot the old mantra: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
OTOH, if you don't make it better, someone else will.
Coke had the right idea but its implementation was horrible. They do
the same thing now, constantly. How many "brands" of Coke do you
think there are?
