Anyone who willfully uses a slotted screw on a new project in the presence of even somewhat reasonable alternatives should have a lifetime ban on designing any items for anyone.

Also, use Robertsons, gink.

    it’s single valid use: somewhere that you may not have tools but might require an impromptu fix… preferably paired with a much larger screw than technically required so you can use things like coins as a driver

    Yeah, like mounting plates for cameras…. Um, I think that’s the only place I’ve appreciated a slot screw
