Wow, person making this chart actually has no clue. First two are absolute worst nightmare. Torx, Pozidrive, JIS, Alan all great with minimum damage.
It's the "grandpa has been using slotted all his life so it can't be bad" reasoning. I can't think of a single use case I'd want slotted or even philips, if I've got a choice. Torx or bust!
If you're having trouble with Torx, buy better screws and bits. There are so many terrible screws around. The difference between a deep well fitting head and the cheap trash is massive.
Yea, I had quite the wtf moment one time when I stripped a Torx screw.
Last year I needed to do some hardwood construction outdoors. On the advise of a carpenter I ordered some high quality stainless steel Torx screws online. They don’t sell these in the consumer-oriented DIY store. They were awesome, much harder than the cheap screws, that would easily bend when driven into hardwood, much sharper as well and if you buy a box of 100 or more it comes with a bit which fits perfectly. So much easier to use than the overpriced crap from the DIY store.
Where are people buying shitty tor screws from? Walmart? Aldi?
I've only bought them from supply houses or home depot/lowes, and deckmates are a pretty damn good brand.
Karwei or Praxis. Especially their store brand is crap. Rotadrill screws are okay, but not as good as Spax, which they don’t sell.
Are those names of alien races in Star Wars?
Cantina music intensifies
Most of us are dealing with screws that someone else installed, though. Can't really control the fact that the manufacturer decided to save .5 cents per units by using cheapass screws that strip if you look at them.
