IMHO phillips screws are joining slotted in my book. I go out of my way to buy torx & square heads, phillips are ok, if I encounter a slotted screw it goes right in the garbage, and gets swapped.
However, a table saw is the only tool I own that has done permanent damage. Almost 2 years, and 1/4" off my left index finger, I can finally type and pick up objects with it.
