In today’s episode of The Build Show, Build Expert Travis is joined by Joe Cook of Catalyst Construction—dives into one of the most frustrating yet universal challenges on the jobsite: fastener tips. After more than 20 years of working together, Travis and Joe have debated the “best of the best” in tools, sealants, and fasteners, but one issue continues to spark frustration—constantly switching between screw tips. From Phillips to Torx to Robertson, the lack of standardization means endless boxes of bits, wasted time, and daily headaches. Travis makes a compelling case for unifying the industry around a single standard—“one tip to rule them all”—to save builders time and streamline the work. Whether you’re a seasoned pro nostalgic for the #2 Phillips or a younger tradesperson swearing by Torx, this conversation will resonate with anyone who’s ever been slowed down by mismatched fasteners.
