Nah I'm buying hex screws/bolts or flathead ones. It is a feature, the feature is: the screw sucks.
Now see flathead is number two on my list of fasteners designed by dark forces.
It's even worse than Philips for power tools.
Hex isn't much better in my experience. Torx is great though.
Small hex fucking sucks, but cheap tools don't help either
Neither does loctite
I'm sticking with Robertson where I can. It's so much better
