  • Domestic: the typical householder has no idea what qualifications an Electrician has, nor the range of trade skills needed to do a safe and neat job.
    The householder only sees the electrical component on view,
    and bases satisfaction upon fairly meaningless aesthetics,
    bitd that both screw heads in a newly affixed double socket lined up,
    or,
    all the debris has been swept up, and disposed of, not just ushered under the floorboards.

    Commercial/Industrial, is the conduit/pyro level, are all the screws in the access plates, all the terminals in the Switchboard firmly secured, everything correctly labelled, is it 'Signed off'?

  • both screw heads in a newly affixed double socket lined up

    People that care about screwheads and like slotted confuse me. I'd much rather have Torx heads. Although I expect everyone working on them after me would hate it.

  • Torx are good, as long as you line the heads up.

  • Typical domestic double socket is located into the box with 3.5mm cross head 'screws' that are more like short, thin bolts.
    Not aware of a Torx equivalent.

    I use Torx preferentially. Typically means others cannot interfere with my work.

  • I'd much rather have Torx heads. Although I expect everyone working on them after me would hate it.

    Yes. Yes I would. You want to make me go back to the van to get a torx bit and then swap them out for normal 3.5mm slotted?

    May our paths never cross. 😂
