Are there any luddites in here still preferring the old fashioned

Furniture restorers love em and will usually buy up old stock. The
rest of us realise the poziheads are generally superior to use
especially where they won't be seen.


I would standardize all screws as PZ2s.

I wouldn't, PZ3 is a good intermediary before you get to coach screws.
And PZ1 has its place on smaller stuff.

As with everything, too many inbetweens. For example, why does a car
need 5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20mm bolts? Why not just
5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20?

Bad design. Nasty flat pack furniture from Argos will often have 5 or 6
different sizes of screws. Good design like IKEA rarely has more than 2.
