Get your minds out of the gutter, seriously! I actually wanted to talk about screws.
Just spent three days trying to make one good Macbook Pro out of two bad ones. The screen hinges used T5 Torx screws, six of them. Obviously not been undone since it left the factory. On the first unscrew I was trying to be careful as it felt a little tight. Sure enough the tool suddenly felt weird and 'snap' the tip came off left in the screw. I'm now left with a smooth-headed screw. Worse, I couldn't even drill it because the Torx head was hardened much more than the screw so I had to sleep on it.
The next day I took a tiny disk cutter in a Dremel and ground a slot clear across the whole head. I didn't think it was going to work because the slot looked shallow & round. Barely had to tweak it with a flat-bladed screwdriver and out it came! Didn't bother with a replacement Torx driver for the others, I used the same process.
Read that the 'traditional' slotted screw was cheaper and easier to make, less easily stripped and is able to take considerably more torque. Apparently limiting that torque and helping powered tool assembly is the reason for the bewildering number of self-centring alternatives. Have you looked online? There's dozens of them!
Anyhing I make or modify from now on is either getting old-fashioned slotted screws or possibly Allen heads. Come to think of it I've never had trouble from one of them either.
Who else has had to drill, grind, heat, weld of chisel off these irritating buggers?
