Comment on I'm just gonna stick to slotted, thanks
renzev@lemmy.world 2 months agoI’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.

I absolutely love the amount of strong opinions on screw heads 🙏

It’s probably because of the impact driver. The bit settles back into the bottom of the slot between every impact. This doesn’t happen with normal drivers.

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!

I think I was wrong, see edit. Carry on!

Philips doesn’t cam out that easily either. Most people just don’t realize there’s three common sizes.

I mean…that’s an inherently subjective statement.
But more objectively, regardless of how easily, it’s still the worst of the available options.
