  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 🙏

        Me too. Nice to see the passion of the construction industry ( and the weekend warriors too)

      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.

        People (try to) use a drill driver as opposed to an impact driver? Wow. I now understand why they could have a grim experience… thanks.

  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.

    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.
