why two types of screws?

[shadow]

I have been meaning to ask this for a long time, I know I can look for the answer over the net, but baka meron may alam sa inyo.

bakit kailangan two types pa ang mga screws I mean yun cross and flat?

[nels76]

Hindi lang Philips (Cross) and Flat.
Meron pang Torx (6 ang slots) as compared to Philips' 4.

[coiter]

onga no. tapos meron pa pang allen wrench.

different standards? different countries? different torque requirements? :s

O shadow, mas marami ka nang po-problemahin. Kadami pang ibang types of screws

[uls]

i guess shadow didnt see that coming

[bmacavanza]

Different designs or types for various product and industry appicationsl. like sa electronics dito sa laptop ko, puro cross. para secured ang screw driver or tool while tightening or the other way around.

Another thing like allen heads. To ensure only professionals can do the job. Like sa cars. the same sa mga special tools.

Screw Tom - - - -hehehe. Just had to say it. . .

I know there are a lot more screw types but I'm just limiting it to the most commonly available, cross and flat.

siyempre pag special na type eh di bibili ka rin ng specific tool for that, parang sa cellphone before parang star type yun screws niya, then pag allen, eh di bibili ka rin ng allen wrench.

but common na meron sa bahay eh philip screw driver or flat lang.

anyone know bakit kailangan cross or flat?

philip's screw for precision

flat for heavy duty

i dont know about the other regular screw but i read somewhere na kaya daw naimbento ang philips screw long long before it was called philips, is bec. it has some religious connotation. noon araw kasi uso ang paglock ng mga devils/demons either sa box, sa room etc. and by using a crossed Philips screw, hindi talaga sila makakalabas by way of the screw hole

sinapian ka na naman ba?

[badsekktor]

hahahaha! sinapian ba?

hmmm..... the way i see it eh parang early days ng computer wherein walang standards kaya kanya-kanya ang manufacturers ng design ng slots....

Kung bakit slotted at cross/philips type ang common, i guess it is more cheaper and efficient to produce these type of heads lalo na sa maliliit na screws.

Kagabi nga, may post si OB na may nakasulat na ganito sa bottom ng reply nya.
Don't mind my posts. They are all jokes coming from my hollow mind.

Pero na-delete yung reply ko kay OB. Ewan ko bakit......
