Have I ever told you guys that I have a thing for Fillister head screws.

The simple beautiful shape, that domed head... ahhhh sheer beauty.

Isn't that the same as a cheesehead screw? Now there's a tasty fastener

We all need a little kink in our lives. Fillister away. Mike

If they only had a hex recess, instead of a slot.

 

[MikeWi]

Slot heads are an abomination. Just say'n.

almost, Fillisters are domed... like our heads... unless you are a flat top... like Frankenstein or Hermann Munster.

I like 'em too! Commonly used on older machinery.

 

[PNW_Guy]

The only think I like about them is they look cool as original parts of vintage machines.

They do look lovely, much nicer than any form of phillips or posidrives; there's no argument that they are a delight to the eyes...

...but behind that prettiness, they are lightly sleeping monsters, always ready to awaken and display their contemptuous, vindictive hate for anyone foolish enough to imagine that they can make these terrible creatures their servants.

I have dark, terrifying nightmares, where they arise en-masse, and maim beyond healing, all those who can hold a screwdriver...

...or something like that.
