phillips are supposed to cam out, because you don't want to over torque your fittings in an assembly line or other industrial scenario
if you want something that won't cam out, use torx like a normal person
just because you're a moron and you think one screw fits all and you habitually misapply your fasteners doesn't mean everybody else does
Robbies are more common for construction. Phillips, Torx, hex and various safety screws are far more common in industrial applications here, except electrical where a Phillips-Robertson hybrid is used.
Ignores the fact that you end up having to work on shit with ph*lips fasteners that have been worked on by frickheads before who frick them up long before cam out because it's a trash design and you have to pick up the pieces of this nightmare bullshit. have a nice day.
If you start seeing signs of wear on a screw or bolt head, replace it. The entire point is that they're inexpensive and impermanent. Phillips can usually still be removed if someone fricks up - Robbies round out, sometimes to the point where you have to pick a bit to sacrifice, epoxy or tack weld it to the screw, and hope everything comes out intact. For a one-and-done thing with an impact drill, where a recessed bolt might be appropriate, Robertson are probably the best choice - quick to work with, slight angle to cam out while still allowing for a good amount of torque without crippling damage to the bit or head. For something where a bit more finesse is in order, like where screw depth, angle, and torque have actual tolerances, Phillips is a better choice.
If you start seeing signs of wear on a grip or barrel, replace the gun with a toy. The entire point is that they're tools for self defense and hunting. A pistol can usually be removed if someone fricks up - rifles are harder to take by force, sometimes to the point where you have to pick a body part to sacrifice; grip or strike the rifle and hope everything turns out ok. For a one-and-done thing with a person, where a can of pepper spray might be appropriate, pistols are probably the best choice - quick to work with, small enough to handle quickly while still allowing for a decent amount of stopping power without necessarily fatal damage unless aimed at the torso or head. For something where a bit more finesse is in order, like where psychological effect, distance, and accuracy have actual tolerances, rifles are a better choice.

Yeah, I can’t figure out why I’m having trouble buying plutonium for my home off-grid reactor (and home defence). It’s in the bill of rights!

how come you can use weed recreationally but you can't use nukes recreationally??
> supposed to cam out
Absolutely wrong.
It’s easy to set them into the bit. Ask a drywaller, we use PR2 bits and drive hundreds of thousands of these frickers per year. They’re all phillips, even in canada. We used clutched drivers, once it starts to cam out, your bit is done.
Factories use them to assemble everything because the torque isn’t high, and the screws just automatically set into the bits.
It’s for speed.
A 4” phillips construction screw, on the other hand, is fricking moronic.
>Phillips construction screw
Yeah, that's getting into Robertson/hex-cap territory. I do see Phillips tapcons every now and then, and it just confuses me - seems like a great way to burn through bits.

Nuclear armaments are a great way to have fun and stay in shape!
just use a square instead of a star or slot you fricking morons

Guess we should ban all guns then

Jesus christ... moron, the point is that your ENTIRE problem with philips is that idiots are mishandling them.
Its the same moronic argument that we shoulf ban all guns because some people use them to do bad things.

I actually used some slotted screw today. Vintage screws with vintage hardware. OMG was that disagreeable.
you can thank Henry Ford for that.
you're worse than the PEX guy
