What is something that desperately needs to be standardized? - Divisions by zero

Nuts, bolts, and screw heads.

I know we need various sizes for various tasks, but I shouldn’t have to dig through 50 different screwdrivers or ratchet heads and still not have one that’ll work.

I replace crappy ones when I remove them.

I’ll tolerate Phillips, but slotted gets replaced with torx. Phillips get replaced if they get damaged.

Torx are pretty great
Everything should be torx
There are reasons why you can’t have Torx in some situations. For example, sanitary machine designs. Preference is a flanged hex head. If flush mount is required, then slotted is best (even though they do suck for every other reason)
Why would slotted be better than, say, Phillips for flat mount? Most of the flat heads on the equipment at work is either a Phillips or hex
