Torx is the only head that needs to exist. The rest can go fuck a rusty chainsaw.
Square is really good too.
Phillips and flat head bits fit in a variety of sizes of screw heads. We seem to have chosen convenience over performance.
If memory serves me correctly square drive is patented, & thus requires licensing, which is why it's less commonly used.
This guy screws
And then bolts
This is the way. Also I'm new to Lemmy so forever will this be how I start my experience here.
Torx is hands down better in every way than flathead and Phillips.
Slotted heads, Philips, posidrive, torx, 6 pan and Robertson.
Each has a use, for instance a slotted head, when you don't need much torque is good enough (like for a screwed in battery compartment).
