Didn't they change to torx and change the base they screw into metal?
The former is a mild annoyance, but they're a pretty standard bit now that anyone that does any electronic DIY has in their set. The latter is a huge improvement.
Must admit I didn't look too much into it though
but mostly seems positive.
Torx is the king of screws, change my mind :D
I prefer the Arthur head screw.
What is the advantage of torx over Phillips?
You strip them was less easily. Also, better grip on the screw=more torque
Good to know. I'm converted
I've had so many Phillips screws going bad because of slipping screwdrivers. I've never had this problem with torx ones. They fit, or they don't, there is no middle ground, if you catch my drift.
Yes that's what I said
Aha, OK. That's my bad. When I read it on the phone earlier, I read the four point list as something you thought they should be doing, and not what they were doing. As such, I thought you were ranting against them.
