I read that was just an afterthought to explain away why they strip out so easily, instead of actually redesigning them
Comment on Philips shouldn't exist. Torx plus is the best fight me
Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 1 month agoPhilips screws are intentionally made to strip though. Even the best material can’t fully offset bad design.

Philips heads are designed to intentionally cam over and limit torque, if you’re using the correct screwdriver that is quite a lot of torque. They certainly have a usecase, but that isn’t anywhere near me. I only use torx.
