A correct slot and probably hollow ground screwdriver tip simply cannot be beat. Most people hate slotted screw heads and slotted screw drivers because they have never been exposed to quality examples of either. My gunsmithing screwdriver set has no less than 40 different tips for slotted screws. Granted, the fastener itself must be properly made, and therein lies the problem.

Geezer voice! "Back in the olden days of the 80s I had to have an Adaptec card to use my first CD burner. Then I could add on a external tape drive for backup, and two external hard drives." End geezer voice. Oh yea, we bought a "gigantic" external RAID5 tower that stored one entire terabyte! That was huge storage.
