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?
Some years ago I went into Toolman in Birmingham, a tool shop that only sold hand tools, I had with me two 15 mm compression plumbing fittings and bought a pair of spanner’s to fit each as the back nuts were different sizes.
Some years later I was working in a customers home and he said “you aren’t a real plumber, are you?” I enquired why he was asking the question, he laughed and said “you have spanners that fit the fittings, a real plumber would be using a pair of pump pliers and an adjustable spanner”.
