Screws Poll

[droneb]

just to spend time until we all get our pandas Im not intending to change anything just to cope with the time
until we all get our pandas

also if the PP think they should change, shouldnt they hear the opinion at least?

BTW does the case have metalic inserts for the screw mounting?

 

[greendots]

I prefer torx but shipping time is most important...

 

[fischju2000]

I have a very shiny set of torx screws, and besides that they've always lasted the longest under repeated assembly/disassembly of electronics for me.

As long as their thread is better than this one, I'm happy.

I voted Torx also, easy to get the tips and they very rarely strip.

Nice. I do hope that the threading is strong though.

 

[second exodous]

Actually when I take apart a device to fix it (like a DS)I take the screws to a Fastenall(good place to but screws in the US/Canada if you have one near you) and get what they have in either philips or if they have torx I usually go with them. So to me it doesn't matter, as long as I can get it apart once I'll replace the screws if I don't like them.

Threads on a screw is the spiral around it, the part that grips when you screw a screw in.

I also voted Torx.

Phillips is very common, but it strips if you look at it sideways.
Slotted just looks silly.

Torx aren't terribly hard to find, the Lowe's near my house has a set of 8 different Torx bits in a pocket screwdriver, and I wouldn't consider Lowe's to be a speciality store.

Don't use "special" screws like Nintendo does, ever. I think OP already knows this, but I'm re-irritating it. Especially for the target audience of the Pandora, it would just be an insult.

 

[WhiteBat]

i prefer torx

i hate tri-wing, and phillips strips too easily

 

[bananajamslam]

I voted for torx.

I hate philips they always get stripped...

 

[second exodous]

Slotted are an option in this poll? Did you really think anyone would want them? I guess if you're going for the steam punk look it would fit. In fact if they're slotted make them brass coloured.

i know what a thread is, what i didnt understand is what is he talking bout "better than this one"
so if it goes for the thread thread pun then Nice one gruso if not, please enlighten me.

 

[atomicthumbs]

I vote tamperproof Torx, because people really shouldn't have open Pandoras

All joking aside, I prefer Philips because it's ubiquitous in the US, even though something like Pozidriv PZ would be better

I instantly face palmed when I saw this thread, but after thinking about it more it does have importance for those that are going to open their pandora often, with the issue of Phillips screws wearing out faster then anything. Though I guess that's more of a question on the quality of the screw material and screw driver

Yes, just a pun. And a little dig at the poll. All in good fun. ^_^

Come to think of it, if you're planning to open your Pandora a lot, you could just make a note to replace the screws with Torx after you first take it apart.
But it would be better to ship with Torx, and assume that everybody who wants to take it apart can get the tools themselves.

Just wondering... what's wrong with slot-screws? I personally like them because if I can't find a screwdriver, I can unscrew them with pretty much anything.
