        Same with slotted, hate them with a passion, especially when it’s those with the raise head

        Yeah, they’re literally made to cam out.

        Useful for automation, but terrible for repairs.

          I also watch AVE, but it’s Philips heads that were made for early assembly line use to cam out under torque. Specifically for the Model-T if I remember correctly.

            Never watched AVE, I used to be an auto tech.

            The Wikipedia article has an interesting summary.

            Looks like it wasn’t intended by the initial patent, but was discovered as a useful property.
