- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Fuck your limit screws
-Shimano, probably
Wait...shit. All those arguments I had with my Ninja suddenly make perfect sense, the screws on the goddamn carbs were JIS and not phillips. fuq.
Yep, very important to know for Japanese motorcycles, they all use JIS.
Higher-end bike parts might be the one application a home DIYer might encounter stainless steel hardware.
Stainless hardware is generally pretty uncommon, but most common in things like commercial kitchen equipment, aerospace and industrial machine panels.
In those industries, the pros know and carry specific stainless steel tools, because using normal tool-steel tools will destroy the hardware.
tl;dr Phillips, pozi or JIS, you might just end up shredding the softer stainless bicycle hardware with your harder tools.
Aircraft repairman speaking: I'm not worried about stripping out stainless screws. If anything Stainless steel is tougher than a cad-plated standard steel bolt.
Aluminum fasteners are the ones you've got to treat like a sore pube.
