I got so sick of the Phillips head, I had a batch of binder head screws made
for me with Torx head. I can put them on the end of a Torx driver and
extend them like a sword dueler and they stay on. Better, they don't Cam
out as easy as the Phillips. Now none of the screws in my Safari helicopter
are Phillips head. Thanks to the Homebuilt regs.

Doing a little work on old Cessnas for fun these days and have to tell

you I
don't like Phillips head screws. The slightest corrosion and they

stick
and freeze. Then your Snap-On screwdriver (make sure it fits) wallows

the
head out, as you grunt and cuss. Then you have to pull out the old die
grinder and disc a groove in the dam* thing and go pull out your common
screwdriver.


No, you drill a hole in them and remove them with a screw extractor.

Replace
them with stainless if you can (not structural).
