All of my Phillips eventually get striped. My flat heads have lasted me forever.

My neighbor got me hooked on Torx, now i don't even have a phillips screw anywhere gave what i had away. I have never had one slip and strip out when i built my boat garage and didn't even have to change the bit. I really like the ones that Stine sells.

Absolutely, I've seen #2 phillips bits that were closer to a reed and prince bit and that will tear up a phillips screw on the first try.

Yea, good luck when you strip a Philips head. You'll never see a flat head stripped because it doesnt exist. And the star shaped heads are superior to everything so this is not a good argument at all.

I have stripped my fair share of allen and square headed ones because the inside is usually domed. Torx is the best by far
