    Same with slotted, hate them with a passion, especially when it’s those with the raise head

    Yeah, they’re literally made to cam out.

    Useful for automation, but terrible for repairs.

      I also watch AVE, but it’s Philips heads that were made for early assembly line use to cam out under torque. Specifically for the Model-T if I remember correctly.

        Never watched AVE, I used to be an auto tech.

        The Wikipedia article has an interesting summary.
