You would be surprised how many people use the wrong size driver or bit, and then wonder why the screw stripped so easily. Yes, the design is bad, but using the wrong tool makes it so much worse.
Ok but how many people can visually tell the difference between a #1 Philips vs #1 JIS vs #1 Posidrive? (They are all + shaped)
That's not what I mean: people using PH1 instead of a PH2, for example. My more recent encounters with this is people simply not knowing that the difference in driver is annually important. So they clearly were just never told to pick the right size, or how to find out the right size.
Didn't Philips come first?
