You all shit on Philips, but it seems almost all screws are philips crosses where I live. I've never seen a square screw lol.

And please don't forget that spile and double-hex are different, despite both having 12 points.
nah you can throw flathead in mental disorders too phillips is the one screw to rule them all and all those nerds can shut up about maths of why the others are technically superior that's all great on paper but phillips is actually a thing you try using your "perfect" torx screwdriver on any scree you can't cause none of them are torx phillips is good enough and actually used flathead isn't even really used that much anymore it's only slightly less rare than the others and it just plain sucks
Phillips is terrible, it's literally designed to cam-out, which means it strips if the screw has got seized in position.
Pozidrive is a million times better than Phillips.
This is the way (assuming you want to torque the hell out of something, but that cam out is actually useful, but no one uses them that way.
More like screwed in the head
spline screws >:(
I usually see Spanner type screws in my local hospital.
