- silisili 4y agoYep. In my house, every thing I work on or replace gets replaced with Torx screws. Slotted have their place, I have no idea how or why Phillips ever got popular.
- fmajid 4y agoLimitations of screw-making technology and metallurgy at the time, Phillips is quite an old standard, patented in 1932 (although there was a similar British patent 60 years earlier).
- pandaman 4y agoOr people who need to drive in a lot of fasteners. Philips is a pain even with an impact driver/screw gun, the bit cannot hold the fastener unlike Torx/Robertson.
