A poignant truism.
Having worked on projects alongside teams of gruff chippies from many geographic origins butchering pre-fab exhibition stands together within unrealistic timeframes cut even shorter by ruthless corporate end-clients, I can attest to the Pozi head being an effective temper to a wildly-wielded, overpowered Makita impact tool.
It’s only really by the ‘profis’ in the Germanic zones that I’ve seen Torx fixings employed deftly; rare to see a countersunk head over 0.5mm over/under-driven, let alone mashed or stripped, and usually with a fag dangling from the bottom lip simultaneously (this whole ceaselessly, remorselessly smoking on site thing still blows my tiny lil baby brain to bits).
ectoplasmosis
If you knacker a screw head rather than stopping because of cam out, that’s on you.
