Domestic wiring fittings, screw heads
Alex Barrett
over 4 years ago
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?

It may be a manufacturing issue. slots can be cut whereas crosshead may need to be punched, which may be more difficult with brass. Just a thought.
