> If we switched from phillips to torx, and your favorite tool brand didn't make torx drivers yet, you've got to either convince them to start, or switch brands.
This is the best analogy I have yet read. Thanks - you nailed an argument I have had at multiple gigs/clients way to often.
> Professionals don't get to use this as an excuse to badmouth torx, and stick with phillips.
D'accord. Exactly. I had very fruitful discussions with professional builders about tools, tool brands and their respective strengths and weaknesses - but never has a professional decried Bosch Pro vs Makita vs DeWalt. One has ones favorites - and that is fine. But badmouthing - I have never encountered.
