Good one shrpshtrjoe, although I thought that term was only applied to German Frauliens, or then again, maybe that is Nischentiten. Some wonderful words in the German language. I like the one that describes big noisy guns....Earschplittenloudenboomer, very descriptive.
I like the screws that Volvo put into their vehicles (yeah, I admit that I drive one of them Swedish Fords, sorry guys). They used star head screws. I think they are better than hex heads and they are streets ahead of both phillips head and slotted screws.
They can be overtightened, like any sort of threaded screw/bolt, but I suppose that nothing will stop people from doing that, especially if they have had a screw work loose on them. This was a problem that caused Breakfree CLP from being withdrawn from use in the Australian Defence Force (allegedly). The claim was that it caused screws to loosen as it was "penetrating" the threads.
