I can't tell you how useful this little phrase has been. Any time
I'm doing something that involves applying force, I take a second
and ask myself this question. If my chisel slips, where's it going
to go?



I find myself asking that question alot with phillips-head screw
drivers..


Why are your Phillips head screw drivers slipping?

Be absolutely certain you're using the right size Phillips screw driver.
#2 is the most common size with #1 being the second most common. If
you put a screw driver in a screw head and it moves side to side easily,
you're using a screw driver that's too small.

Phillips screwdrivers also work best with force applied along the
turning axis. Push in as you rotate the screw.

Just use Torx heads.
