    Oh my god don’t get me started on pozidriv. Not only is it actually really spelled like that, it was literally fucking designed to limit the amount of torque applied to the screw. Fuck my life. Whoever decided to put that fucking hateful abomination on a 4 inch self tapping wood screw needs their fucking head examined and no mistake oh my god. Fuck.

      Other way around - Phillips were designed to torque out. Pozidriv are much better for high torque applications

        That’s a myth/misconception too. Phillips is not intentionally bad
