There are many types of fasteners available in the marketplace. Selecting the right type of fastener often depends on the job to be accomplished. Each type of fastener often has a matched screwdriver head type.

The better question is what screw head do you hate the most. Vaisala puts tamper-resistant bolts on all their cabinets and all the center pins get broken off in the field when someone needs to work on one and doesn't have a key. Once you break off the center pin, a flat screwdriver works fine.
This looks interesting! It says in the intro from the Inbox that "A new forum thread has been created", i have yet to see a Forum thread on any screw although it is stated a bit lower down that "You can view this thread online". Am I missing something?
I use pozidriv for most things and hex, slot or square when going for a particular effect.
But I also like the slotless round screws you get for rack equipment.
What do you call this screwhead?
Cursed.
Having had to deal with many screw heads that simply churn up into mush from being torx, hex, star, Philips, JIS, pozidriv, etc.
Flathead.
Every time, flathead.
The other types become flatheads when I have to dremel a slot into them to get them out of the device.
The eye-balling moment of "is it JIS or is it Philips?"
Indeed. My experience is from assembling semi trucks
Sometimes a magnetic screwdriver is not the right tool to use, e.g. when aligning the record/play heads on vintage tape recorders. A small blob of Blu-Tack usually does the job.
