Person on this home improvement show said everybody needs "a good screwing surface." Can't argue with that logic.
I have been known to also do it standing up!
Take that whichever way you like? Hehehe I ?
.... And a suitably shaped and sized tool for the slot.
Some screws have natural elasticity and so accommodate all sizes of driver, others sadly don't and have become supersized so the driver rattles around like a dried pea in a tin can.
@FrayedBear And in some with a standard slot it becomes becomes clogged up and the screw requires replacement with a star slot. (this technique was, I believe, pioneered by Mr Phillips.)
