Philips/Slot and Six-Lobe Tamper
>Tamper
closed-source screws
for me it's triangle
Slotted screws are where it's at. They are the true patrician's choice.
y-type and tri-wing look cool but i've never seen those
Buy a gameboy. Yes I took this photo just now.
Fuck them, it’s just soft DRM.
You can literally buy a cheap 50-something bit set for $10.
But you shouldn’t need to and most people won’t have a set of it even though they have plenty other drivers, hence soft DRM. The cheap sets suck too, at least they did way back. It’s not meant to be a good screw.
>gameboy
Or a Switch. Yes, it's anti-tamper, but whatever. Prevents irreparable damage from normalfags.
Yeah I'm a modder and keeping normies from ruining their hardware is based so that it lives on.
Robbie's are baste
PZ, it never feels like slipping out
>six-lobe
Oy vey!
Torx.
Most secure drive ever invented
shouldn't you be in church timmy
A swastika screw head could actually be a really good design if the driver was strong or thick enough
No it couldn't, lmao. All the torque would be absorbed by the groove perpendicular to the angle of rotation, in other words it would not provide any more strength than a cross-shape, but without the advantages of the cross-shaped philips screw such as being tolerant to different screwdriver sizes and being reinforced with a tapered, thicker shape. Not to mention that even if the physical properties of such a slot weren't absolute garbage for the aforementioned reasons, it would be prohibitively complicated and thus expensive to manufacture.
>tolerant to different screwdriver sizes
heh
sensible chuckle
when will you mutts learn?
Imagine a different time line where this was the screw that became standard. Its ridiculous how much better this is to cross head screws. Cross head screws basically don't work, whilst thing thing, it works so well you need zero downwards force. Its possible to screw into a piece of wood with no pilot hole using a wrench. Cross heads on the other hand require you to put your entire body weight on the end of the screwdriver to prevent it from camming out. Absolute shit.
it just makes sense. Also, roberstons bairly fall off your bit unlike shit star philips head.
Torx 100%
Give me flat or robertson. Everything else can fuck off
clearly you havent worked with a lot of screws
It doesn't matter, I'll use a flat screwdriver to open each and every one of them.
hexagon
Torx is honestly pretty good for indoor environments, fuck anyone using them in spots where they corrode and the only way to get them out is to hammer a fucking hex bit into them though.
Slotted, like god intended. More curves=easier to strip. Phillips was a mistake.
Slots are terrible, they are always getting chewed up. Honestly, as terrible as phillips is, slots might even be worse.
hex is the worst
>*rounds your screw head*
exactly. frustrating when I explain this to people and its like Im talking to a brick
someone post the israelite-shaped screw
I haven't used most of those, but Phillips are by far the words that I have ever encountered. Most of the ones on the right look fine, I like hexagon, but you really can't go wrong with slotted.
Torx / Hexalobe is clearly best

fucking retard
square
I wish I could go back in time to prevent Phillips from being born.
Its less about the screw head, and more of the screw quality.
Oooooooooooooooooh sorry OP but five of those just summoned Beelzebub. RIP
real men use RIVETS
Slotted Philips and 1/4 hex on the outside. Three layers of redundancy. Strip one, go to the next. Plus, using a nut driver is just a lot nicer.
