invent something better

If it's too small it just falls out of the crease! If it's too big it reams out the pocket making it unusable! If you're lucky to keep it in at all it's just miserable trying to screw!
I'm talking about frickin' flathead screwdrivers, the dumbest tool ever invented!
Perhaps the tool is not to blame, but the dumb shaped screw that makes it easy to slip right out and stab your hand with. #Winning
Like wasn't this ever tested?! Why didn't manufacturers and makers spend 2 more minutes to come up with the phillips head or some other locking bit. Flatheads should have never left the drawing board!
There is no excuse why these are still used. They belong in a museum!
Humanity will never progress if we continue to use this caveman stuff.

Perhaps a torx head is better.

If you are replacing, why not replace the fastener?
