I kinda miss a few opinions on the topic of “screw taste” here. 🥲

    Both amazing, and it sucks that so many people in history bring about incredible ideas and creations and end up getting nothing for it in the end. At least Phillips got his name stuck to it, I suppose. My wife still insists on asking for the star screwdriver, and I correct her every time. “It’s Phillips!” You know what they say, you never truly die until people stop remembering you. Live on.

    Also, while I understand its history being a simple to make design, the slot can die as far as I care. I HATE it, and whenever I find it in older places doing repairs I swear up and down. The worse is the slot that is a very shallow cut. Like, how am I supposed to put any torque on this without it slipping???
