Fun fact: Torx screwdrivers are compatible with Torx Plus screws, but Trox Plus screwdrivers are only compatible with Torx screws that are one size larger

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 ☹️

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

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 seats back into the bottom of the slot between every impact. This doesn't happen with normal drivers.

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 0 points 4 months ago

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.

E: I can't find anything more than discussion about it, nothing official. Sorry for the wrong info, looks like JIS screws are still alive.

[–] brap@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I did not know that, but yes to Vessel!

[–] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

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

[–] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee -2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] hydrospanner@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

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.
