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?
"Has your question been answered?" asks the IET? Well. I've learnt that slot head screws are great because you can line up the heads. With Pozi screws, you don't feel the need to. It would be good to see the IET championing improvements to wiring kit, after all the Wiring Regs are the IET's claim to fame. Decent screw heads, & proper terminals fit for the wires they are likely to be used with. Labeling that is clear & easy to read in poor light.
