Domestic wiring fittings, screw heads

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?

  • My view is the exact opposite, trying not to chew up the head of a tiny slotted screw at the bottom of a dark hole with an ill-fitting driver. At least Pozi stays aligned as you're spinning it.

    I think the consensus is that quality and ease of use have been sacrificed for cost and size reduction.
