Robinson aka the square head is by far the superior choice.
I’m not canadian, so I don’t have a lot of experience with these. But from the limited experience that I do have, I would rate it 10/10.
What would you recommend for smaller screws (e.g. for electronics)? As far as I know, there aren’t smaller sizes of robertson like there are with torx?
Pozidrive has real nice engagement and doesn’t cam out like Phillips does. And JIS drivers do a better job in Phillips than Phillips ones do.
After wrecking some JIS screws on a vintage reciever, I bought a nice Vessel-brand JIS driver set, and use it for all my crosshead needs.
Pozidriv reliably makes me projectile vomit ☹️
I’ve driven tens of thousands of pozidrive 2/3 screws into timber with an impact driver. For whatever reason my experience is the diametric opposite of yours. Big up the Pozidrive massive.
Yeah but JIS for screws/bolts has been abandoned by the Japanese govt as of… 2005?
My JIS screwdrivers are fantastic, not easy to torque out on a regular Phillips screw. Stick with the “vessel” brand.
I did not know that, but yes to Vessel!
Philips doesn’t cam out that easily either. Most people just don’t realize there’s three common sizes.
Philips doesn’t cam out that easily either.
I mean…that’s an inherently subjective statement.
But more objectively, regardless of how easily, it’s still the worst of the available options.

Found the Canadian.
Its flaw is that you can only get to it in 90deg increments. When the screw is in a hard to reach place that is just unacceptable
As a person that changes out a lot of electrical outlets and switches I have to agree.

LOL sure, good one… Only time robinson is the answer is if the question is “what do you get if you put a toddler in charge of designing a poor knockoff unbrako head?”
TEAM TORX REPRESENT!
