When I first got my slash I was so ticked off that it had all hex screws....and now I find it a huge pain my savage has phillips, LOL. Flat heads are terrible...I just imagine screw drivers being thrown off of screw heads. Pretty much everything is better than flat head and phillips if you have the right size bit, if you don't then you're screwed....(get it?! hahahahaha, I crack myself up)
