Flathead (2) Tuesday, Mar 24, 2009 3:24 pm

Attention screwers of the world (if there's a better way to say that, I couldn't think of it):  Please stop using flathead/slotted screws.  They serve no purpose that Phillips-head screws can't, and they're stupidly difficult to both install and remove.  Death to flathead screws!

Agreed.  My fear in doing this though is that flat head screwdrivers would go away and they are quite useful for getting out stripped phillips-head screws as well as opening paint cans.

A world without flathead screws doesn't necessarily mean a world without flathead screwdrivers.  I agree that the only way to open a paint bucket is with a flathead screwdriver.  But as for removing stripped Phillips-heads, pliers do the trick.
