  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.

    And the automation argument isn’t as important now that electric drills all have clutches.

    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.
