Comment on The torque better not be too strong with this one

  Pozidriv is intentionally not backwards compatible, and one of the biggest problems it has is looking enough like Phillips that people assume it must be compatible, use a mismatched screw and driver, and strip a head.

    Which is why it sucks. I go to work and I see a cross cut, I’m going to use my Phillips head of appropriate size to pull it out or put it in. Did 8 pozidrive have any indication it’s not Phillips? I’ve honestly never seen one.

    I don’t have any pozidrive bits but I have two sets of long torx, some double sided torx for my hand driver, and a bunch of little torx bits in my bag to hand out to the kid that came to his first day of work with nothing but a #2 Phillips.

      Yes, the head is visually distinctive from Phillips, with four smaller cuts in between the main ones.

        Good to know if I ever see one.
