Torx is also common and also way way better than philips. Really we as a society need to phase out philips screws yesterday.

Philips is great for what it's designed to do, strip out.
But for electronics I basically never want that behavior.

I've stripped out every sort of head. It isn't the heads fault really. Lack of thread treatment and/or correct application of torque is the cause and can happen to any head.

So in essence, if you EVER think you might need to disassemble something, you shouldn't use Philips.

The prevalence of Robertson in Canada is amazing.

I keep the Robertson head in my drill because it's pretty much the only one I ever use.

Because Robertsons are the best. There is no equal for wood screws.
