I also watch AVE, but it’s Philips heads that were made for early assembly line use to cam out under torque. Specifically for the Model-T if I remember correctly.
Oh… I thought this was satirical about gender or something. Not literally saying that those are the two best screws, because NOBODY IN THE WORLD THINKS THAT.
Some claim to have stripped Robertson screws but to be fair, the metal used and amount of torque the peson applies is the biggest reason for problems.
Phillips heads were supposed to solve the over torquing problem, but everyone didn’t listen to standard specifications and didn’t bother using them as they were meant to be made and used. The Philips head was supposed to slip once the correct torque was applied. Unfortunately, this positive benefit became a negative. With poor metals and a mismatched driver bit to screw head along with not using the screw head that was meant for the specified torque demands, the Phillips screw became known for stripping.
Trying to implement non overtorquing feature to the square bit and you will find how similar it will look to the Phillips head.
Right now, Torx is the best at not stripping, but good luck if the screw is overtorqued. Eventually, the cheap metal gives out with the screw head, or bit, snapping off.
This is a common misconception. Phillips was not supposed to solve over torquing. It was designed to allow higher torques, stop slipping and self centre. It was only really good at self centering.
A screw designed to stop it being over toqured is a terrible idea. The screw should be smaller to prevent if higher torque is needed. If over torque is an issue then reducing the power to the driver is a much better solutio (easily done in industrial setting Phillips was designed for). You can also reduce the size of the screwdriver supplied.
Fuck large format torx that are exposed to the element. I just weld a nut on them now and pound them out with an impact because you’ll break 2 torx bits for every one bolt you’d get out.
six lobe and it’s variants are instruments of the devil, I swear I can’t ever get the screw size right for the life of me and get so paranoid about stripping screws.
Phillips and pozi are actually designed to cam out (look it up on wikipedia). Started using torx a few years ago and I will never go back to pz again, even if it’s on the clock and someone else is paying for materials.
Flat head still has it’s place IMO, for example on machinery that gets used out in the field where you might need to improvise a driver out of a knife or coin or something.
This man clearly works in the field. Torx is the head to rule them all, except below T15 then it’s a pain, and you break more bits than you put in screws.
True. Best to save T15 and below for cleaning the flesh out from under your fingernails after you’ve finished removing all the pz screws the last guy put in.
For real, an when de screw is cheap. The screwdriver just eats all the metal. More than one time I got left with a stuck screw because the craving was completely destroyed.
How long is that going to take? Can we do it via Zoom? If it’s not inconvenient for me to attend this meeting I’d be down for $1/second. My number is higher if it has to be in person, but I’m not gonna act like it’s a high number.
Eye contact is cheaper than having to look at his hands. For the right price I’ll even stroke… his ego by comparing him to Edison. Fortunately for me I’m sure he’d take that as a compliment and not realize I’m calling him a talentless hack that steals from Tesla.
Decided I will no longer be paying taxes. What are they gonna do, tax me more? Go ahead. I wont pay those either Oh im going to prison? The one paid for by my tax dollars? Sorry. Didn’t pay em. Now there is no prison. I am at least 3 steps ahead of the government at all times.
Good social/political cartoons simplify a problem to its basic elements and make fun of whatever is contributing to a problem. Bad ones oversimplify a complex issue and are just an illustrated version of closed-minded griping. Actual “humor” is optional.
Mostly in construction. Robertson was a Canadian, and you see them a lot in Canada. In the US largely they use Phillips or something that looks like Phillips and a six-lobed star shape.
I like Robertson because the bits are much less fragile, and very inexpensive. They’re also much less likely to strip out a screw with a square hole than something that needs little pieces of metal sticking into the bit hole.
Ah yer late on that thar joke yee laddie, now off on that wagon wit yee and I’ll boop ye on yees head and make yee sleep, I know yee we’re trying to cross the border and walked right into that imperial ambush…
