Anyone tangentially studying anything scientific with real life measurements in the US is versed in metric. Imperial really is for the dum dums and their precious feel feels.

Fuck, I forgot about auto work.

Also, I think hex heads are more prone in smaller applications. Phillips should’ve been the square head.

Phillips was going to be the square head, but there pattent / licencing issues i think. Torx is my fav now, but i also understand that its expensive and complicated to manufacture, especially in the past.

I’m a torx lover after rebuilding my deck! Box of 500 comes with one bit and that’s all you need.

Robertson.

Canada uses Robertson screws in construction. You can put them on a screwdriver and screw straight up, and they are much harder to strip out.

Yeah, you know, except for the entirety of engineering degree fields. Everything is still done to one thousandth of an inch.

I’m in Australia and it still shits me to tears that I can’t mathematically communicate with Americans.
