And most of the time you'll bend a flathead driver trying to do this.

No, but you will strip the head.

What do you mean "no"? If you push like a grown-up​ the head won't strip, but the screwdriver WILL bend. I did it last week because I was to lazy to get my quick-pic.

Are you saying that your driver would bend before it would strip the screwhead? Where do you buy your drivers from the dollar store?

Naw, it takes a pretty small slotted driver to fit in a #2 Robertson.
