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?
I saw a kitchen fitter do up screws to the 2 oclock position this afternoon. He's a rare breed, one who doesn't bodge his own 'lectrics, he calls us in to do the work. But his eye for 'finish' is perfect. Asked him why... his response: i was taught vertical or horizontal looks artificial, but a slight italic lean to the screw slot looks 'swish'.
Words may be a bit odd, but he wasn't wrong. (and it's very rarely i will agree with a kitchen fitter!)
And as to screwdriver shapes. I agree with the consensus view, it's not the shape of the screwdriver, it's the quality.
Although phillips are an abomination before all mankind
