Being an Immigrant to Québec, Canada (the french province), you showing both US/Can vs. EU (SI) measurements was just amazing.

I truly never thought there would be so much to know about screws. Thanks for this. Very informative.

[koalajs]

Finally ! Someone with the knowledge explaining things properly. I solute you my friend thank you.

[bjetTube]

Awesome video. You answered questions that I didn't even thing to ask.

A SUPERB video, especially helpful in providing head measurements and downloads. The worst thing about Philips head screws is the tendency of the driver to cam out. If I ruled the world, only square-drive and Torx would be allowed...the only ones that can be driven back out without using downward pressure, which is the last thing you want when trying to REMOVE them!🤗

Excellent again. No waffle. And I like that you include metric in your talk.

[bitemyram]

Great video and I’m so glad you used the term “imperial system”. I’ve talked to so many people who have no idea what what imperial is until it’s explained. Lol

[alessandrozoppi]

Great overview, I learned several new things, thanks! And, as others noted, touching both metric and Imperial scales is very helpful.
