Flathead (2)	Mar 24, 2009
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! #products

	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.
