Does someone know why:
1 Slotted screws are still being manufactured?2 Phillips screws have tapered slots?
As far as I am concerned slotted screws are obsolete. Screwdrivers slip out of them and they bugger up easy plus they are not as strong as phillips screws.
The slots in phillips screws are tapered and so are the phillips screwdrivers. Why aren't all the screws and screwdrivers positive drive. With straight up and down slots so your screwdriver does not slip out? There must be a reason but I can't for the life of me think of one.
