deanmass Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 Lucky Charms (they are bad for you-kidding) USB (FIREWIRE) Train Crossings (bridges and tunnels) Ethernet (FIBER!) I actually called IBM one summer when I had taken delivery of about 300 PC systems, all of which were loaded up with flat head screws. The person on the phone for IBM said "Well, not everyone in the world has access to a phillips head screwdriver" I suggested they INCLUDE one with the freaking PC! I was just bafled that these (flathead screws) are even PRODUCED.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

not Cereal Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 'flat head' screws have a purpose. ask an engineer, and they will tell you that you can get more torq with a 'flat head' screw. besides, you do not mean flat head screw. a phillips head screw can easily be a flat head screw. the correct term for your tirade is "slot head screw" i agree slot head screws cuase marring of surfaces and fingers. many a cuss word has been shouted by the bastard coaster.

Lee Flier Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 I actually prefer slot head screws, and curse Phillips! It seems like whenever I have to unscrew something that has Phillips head screws, some dunderhead has already gotten hold of them and used the wrong sized driver, which means the heads are now all stripped out. And even if you use the right size driver, many of them seem to get stripped out eventually. As for things that should be banned: well, trolls of course. Trolls obviously want to feel really important, and that's why they troll: They want the moderators to ban them. That way, they can go around telling everyone, "I'm with the banned." :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, why not just rivet the damn thing closed so I can break out my acetaline torch! Personally, I think we should also dump slotted AND philips fasteners and go exclusively to Allen-head!

It takes one seriously disturbed person to make web pages like that.... endless lists of just about everything he ate, drank, read, did, listened to and so on, complete with strange coments and stuff (you have to scroll around to see some of it). To top it off there's lots of pictures of "my room" that looks like nothing like a room where anyone would like to spend any time. And why putting all of this on the web? This is the stuff that psycho killers are made of. /Mats http://www.lexam.net/peter/carnut/man.gif What do we want? Procrastination! When do we want it? Later!

They opened a place near me called 'Snookers Pool and Pub" and it is cool as heck, nice tables, good food, reasonable prices...and smoke....i'd prolly go there once a week for lunch IF it was smoke free.

not Cereal Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 well, torx head screws are actually probably the best out there really. they apply the most surface are between the tool and the screw, AND they are configured not to "drive out" the tool like phillips heads. you can get the most power into/out of a torx head screw because of the increased surface area of the design. followed closely by a hexhead screw (normal looking bolt for those of you who dont understand this). i have several sets of torxhead drivers, never had a problem with a single one. i HAVE rounde many a hexhead screw, and destroyed MANY MANY phillips head screws, and jabbed up otherwise nice things trying to use those blasted slothead screws. torxhead wins. buy the right tool for it! they're cheap (see, i speeledd their rite) if you mess up a torxhead screw, most likely you will break the shaft of the screw and the head will be fine. why? surface area and torq transfer. maybe this is why they are called torxhead, i dont know. i imagine it is?
