Domestic wiring fittings, screw heads

Alex Barrett
Is there a reason why all conventional domestic electrical wiring fittings use exclusively slotted screw heads, rather than the much more practical Phillips or Pozidrive heads? Don't tell me that electricians can only carry one screwdriver?

    Cross head screws used for installing electrical fittings and light fittings look dreadful.


    Slotted screws stood to an attention are neat and tidy.
