And why is it that when removing a number of screws, it's always the last one that refuses to budge?
The Law according to Mr S*d, or "Left-Hand Fred" as he's known to his engineering friends, states a number of things. My favourite is "It is not possible to overestimate the stupidity of even the average apprentice". You can substitute anyone you like for "apprentice"!

Sods law simply : 'If it can, it will'
I know this to be true, I rebuilt an Austin Sheerline and the designer worshipped at the temple of SOD!

I am sorry about this shocking pun but going on the original subject matter being discussed here, 'we may have screwed the thread up' as we have wandered off a bit. Possibly my fault, sorry chaps. ::)

Not to worry Sheerline it lightened things up a bit as I think I detected a few 'cross threads' in there somewhere. ;D Graham

Ther are a few 'nutters' on here I think. Several of them should make a' bolt' for the door before others become 'bored'
AAh, the old ones are the best eh!

  Speakin' of left-and freds, what about wire wheel spinners? Woe betide the bod who forgot "left-and fred on the right of the car and t'other way about", and mixed up the front hubs.

  First inkling that something was wrong was the spinner bouncing down the road. And you knew the wheel would be not far behind it!

Via email to mayhem ....

Dear [Mayhem],

My name is Jesse and I’m an Editor at Happy DIY Home (https://happydiyhome.com/).
 I was doing research on screw head types and just finished reading your wonderful piece [here]

In that article, I noticed that you cited a solid resource that I’ve come across in the past: http://www.boltdepot.com/fastener-information/type-chart.aspx

We just published an updated, comprehensive guide on screw head types. It is completely free and you can find it here: https://happydiyhome.com/screw-head-types/

If you like the piece we’d be humbled if you cite us in your article. Of course, we will also share your article with our 100k newsletter subscribers and followers across our social platforms.

Either way, keep up the great work!

Warmly,
Jesse

It is a pity that they don't include JIS.

I purchased a set of JIS screwdrivers after seeing them on a James May TV show & I am amazed how many things I have that need JIS drivers. The difference with Pozidrive is night & day when in use even if they look very similar. I got them right down to minute (sent from Japan) so I can now get into those tiny camera etc screws that previously looked imposible.

I must get some for my impact driver which will work well as they don't cam out.

If only I had known this when I butchered Japanese motorcycle screws all those years ago.
