If you're talking which one would I rather see right this second, I guess Torx. The problem with all the meme ones is they may have superior characteristics but I don't have a set of bits that go with them so I'd have to go drive around trying to find some fucking bit when I just want to finish my project.

When I was a young child my father had a screwdriver he brought home from work, and he called his magic screwdriver. It was obviously a flathead in a previous life, but he had filed the end into something new altogether, a driver that he claimed would turn ANY screw. I am currently 24 years old and I'm yet to find a screw this driver can't handle, no matter the shape, or the amount of stripping. I genuinely believe this screwdriver can never be replicated, not by any other man, or machine, one driver to rule them all. I know where it lives even to this day, in my dad's "various useful junk" drawer, in his kitchen, waiting for the next challenge, maybe even an old rusty allen bolt, who knows.

I love my father, but sometimes I sit up at night, wondering how much longer I have to wait. When I will get the call or the letter, informing me that I can finally claim what is mine, my birthright, and destiny. The greatest screwdriver that has ever been, and ever will be.

The more sides the more traction, circles have infinite sides, a circle would be best
>>
>>1228058
Not quite. I'd classify fasteners with a factor: Force/(Area*Torque), or how much force gets put across the internal area of the screw when you put so much torque. The lower the surface area the force is spread across less area and causes more stress, and the lower the radius, the more force has to be applied to the same area to get the same torque. It would also incorporate the sine/cosine of the angle of the face relative to the radial direction, and would have to be an integral to incorporate the changing ratio with respect to the angle.

Torx and new torx were optimized mathematically to optimize the torque transfer. Hence the name. After a while, adding splines doesn't help.

My only issue with bits other than Phillips or flathead is that if you use the wrong driver they get fucked up. I'd rather limit the sizes and standardize such that each step is about 3x the diameter of the next smaller one. This way your driver's either work or they don't.

Simple shapes are better. Slots for versatility, hex for things that will be grabbed by wrenches, and squares for stable insertion. The more complicated they are, the more likely they are to fail and the less likely you are to be able to do anything without having a special tool. Unless you want security by requiring a special tool.

I'm surprised there's no slot with closed edges in the list.

Right. a 12 point tool with a 12 point fastener will out-perform a six point tool with a six point fastener. The highly-rated ARP automotive fasteners tend to be 12 point.
>>

He's not wrong.

Twist or chip it, and all you have to do is grind it back down.

This is why robertson and flat are master race; they are trivially easy to fix the drivers. And the screws for flat or phillips can just be re-cut if stripped.
>>
>>1227469
>heavily implying Phillips isn't the grandmaster of stripping
>>
>>1231192

once one of these pieces of shit gets stripped it's ruined. I'll gladly pay you to take every flathead screw in my possession if you will replace them with real screws.

it's just too damn easy to strip flatheads. and drivers suck unless you use a sleeve to keep the bit from going out one end.
>>
>>1231204
Care to share a picture of a stripped flathead screw? The drivers slip out annoyingly easily, but I've never managed to strip one. They're physically more robust than a hex or allen screw, assuming you don't put enough torque on the driver to bend the two sides of the slot away from one another, in which case you're putting an order of magnitude too much torque on the thing, or it's made of cheese-grade steel.
>>
>>1231220
>but I've never managed to strip one

half the time they are already buggered up by someone else. flatheads and phillips are too easy to fuck up. You almost never see a fucked up torx or allen because if the tool is in good shape it does not have any tendency to cam out, unlike phillips and flat.

and if you need photographic proof that flatheads can be buggered up then lurk more until you are at least 15.
>>
>>1231223
I was thinking more along the lines of chowdered to fuck, but I guess they don't need much more than a slight angle on the groove to let the driver itself slip. Like is common with Phillips, it sounds like this problem is caused by using drivers aggressively, from a bad angle, and with improper size bit. That's what all you morons get for falling back on their cordless hammer drill for driving purposes, if you cared about your craft you'd be using your hand to figure out the right amount of torque, not some arbitrary plastic dial on your drill. If you're using fasteners on anything that requires enough torque to even consider using an electric or pneumatic driver over your hand, you've already lost if you're using them with Phillips or flathead screws.
>>
>>1231226

I think we are simply from different backgrounds. I work on things like cars and houses where flathead screws either don't exist or they are invariably already fucked up. There's a reason that you never see flathead screws on modern cars or being used to build a deck, and using a power tool is not a sin in my world.

What do you work on?
>>
>>1231227
Woodworker, typically small aesthetic things like boxes. I occasionally use thin aluminium sheet when thin plywood isn't appropriate, and that stuff also gets malformed if I tighten a screw too much without a stupidly large washer. Whenever I use screws instead of dowels they have to look the part, so no fancy fasteners making it look like a cellphone or engine. I guess the main difference between us is that if you over-torque a fastener you remove the damaged screw, but if I over-torque a fastener I have to repair the workpiece itself. If I saw a flathead used on a load bearing element on a project car then I'd send it to the museum or a scrapyard.
>>
>>1231228
>Woodworker, typically small aesthetic things like boxes.

Then I understand your feelings about power tools and using the proper flat head screwdriver. You probably never encounter a screw that is rusted and requires a lot of torque to remove it, so I suppose you can always deal with flat head screws without pain and agony.

Brass flat head screws that have not been abused look wonderful to me, and I occasionally use them in small wooden projects.
>>
>>1231227
not that guy (im actually >>1230088 ) but ive seen them most in small, cheap consumer electronics. usually shit you get at the dollar store

robertson master race for woodworking though, preferably powder coated too

phillips for shit that holds plastic parts together like electronics or w/e. its also a best for anything intended as an adjustment screw

bolt for anything that's to hold big structural parts together or that needs to be rock solid forever until you undo it but gotta get undone easy, like gun scopes or girders

if they are tight at all then forget it. pic related can work where almost no flathead can, and you can grind them even shorter.

This is a matter of physics. The farther it is from the center and the more perpendicular it is to the movement, the better it is.

Spanner heads suck, but flatheads are also uniquely bad because they don't center and slide out if you aren't holding on to the screw.
>>
>>1233013
results would be extremely similar for using allen, except when you want to turn something by hand you don't need a full 90 degree rotation to engage the wrench to the socket

Can someone explain to me why pozidrive and Phillips both exist ? Is it related to Judaism?
>>
>>1233162
Phillips was invented to solve some of the problems with slotted screws and drivers (basically the need for perfect alignment to avoid slipping and cam out), then Pozidriv was invented to allow higher torque.

Where do I buy pentalobe drivers? I want to clean out my laptop's keyboard but it doesn't work with the standard star-of-davidrivers.

But then you couldn't use a wrench
>>
>>1233286
They make External Torx wrenches. They're just not as convenient as open-end wrenches.
>>
>>1227462

Fffff, we use those as security screws for exhibit cases at a museum I work at and the number of bits I've broken EVEN WHILE BEING CAREFUL is rediculous.
>>
>>1227393
whichever one is less likely to be stripped

What about these?

Phillips if the metal it's made from is actually strong enough. Otherwise, torx

I've actually seen a telescopic screw before. In a vaporizer head. You know, those fancy electronic cigarettes.
Squonk drip atomizer of some sort. Just as stupid as that sounds.

It had two of those grey parts against each other, with a rubber seal between them.
The entire inner section was an open hex shape. To let e-liquid through, pumped from below.

Not a smart design by any means. The maker was probably just being a clever ass about it, since making that shit is a hobby.

they are the most fucked fastener ever invented
>>
>>1234743
>how does it even
my exact thoughts, but then I looked it up:

"At first glance, the oval pan looks circular, similar to a regular stud or rivet, however this deceptive fixing actually has an oval head which enables it to be fastened and removed only with the matching tool."
>>
I like torx cause it can do a few of the other ones too
>>
Anyone here ever used Bristol? Looking at it, I'd guess it's borderline impossible to strip, but a massive pain in the ass to get onto a driver bit.

What are the practical differences between pozidrive and Phillips? Can't you just use the same driver heads for the pair of them?

The pozidriv offers a bit more torque.

You may use a philips bit on a pozidrive screw, but it may cam out.
Pozidrive bit on a philips screw does not actually fit

>>1234877
It'd probably destroy the screwdriver easily

mnfg when i saw them first time in shop just another way to take our money out of our pockets

Torch. Only thing that pisses me off is if I'm working on a refrigerator and and assembled it at the factory with fucking stainless steel screws. They tend to strip out and I lost them easy since they aren't magnetic. Other than that, Phillips is a close second, just because they're so fuckin easy when it comes to taking things apart and drilling through wood.

I've seen the twin bolt before, actually two bolts welded together. I don't remember what the purpose was, but it did have one in my boss's strange mind.

You have a serious problem in your brain compartment if you choose anything besides Phil or Hex.

To go further you're a retard if you use anything besides 5/16

>buying a tool you plan to never use again

If you need it once, and you are a diyer you will probably need it again sometime in the future.

torx is a good way to stop idiots and generate stripped screws

Stop using a drill on them retard, they arent designed for speed.

Or boatloads of torque since they're so shallow. They're usually reserved for woodworking probably because of this, and I think that guy works on metal, so his point of view is understandable. I sure know a flathead bolt on an engine would make me as mad as hex bolts on a bookshelf.
>>
>>1233188
So good. Sooooo. Gooooooood.

My favorite tool I never use is a "tight spot tap" set. Literally taps that have a Robertson head so you can stick a long ass extension on with a straight bit driver.
>>
>>1236348
flatheads are used in hygiene applications, much easier to clean than hex
still hate them
