Many moons ago, in a wood shop far far away, in a land that tool improvements had forgotten… before the torx, the phillips, and the square drive screws, there was the simple slot head screw. It was a time of great frustration and loud cursing in the workshop; it was the time of the stripped screw head. This mystery tool is an ancient example of the tool that tried to drive those old screws.

Some people still try and use these screws, some people refuse to accept that they are obsolete, surpassed passed the technological improvements of superior drive heads. If you look for the screws in stores you can still find these relics of the past. They are in the obsolete department, right next to all the tablesaws without flesh sensing technology.
