Slightly off topic, but is this something people worry about in the real world? I have about 9 random screwdrivers, and when I need one I just try them all until one seems to fit. And if it doesn't, I... stop, instead of stripping the screw. I couldn't tell you if a single one of them was metric or imperial
- DarylZero 5y agoThere is no such thing as metric or imperial screw heads. There are various ISO/ANSI standards.
- jrm4 5y ago:) That's the other thing about my example, it was just a doofy little thing I made up.
- BenjiWiebe 5y agoI work on small engines. Their carburetors usually are held together with JIS screws, which do look like Phillips. You can tell if someone took it apart with Phillips, though, as the screw is (basically anyways) visibly damaged and the screwdriver doesn't seat as well.
