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

Robinson aka the square head is by far the superior choice.
LOL sure, good one... Only time that square abomination 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!
Things are getting heated in the screw fandom
I'm not canadian, so I don't have a lot of experience with robertson. 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 🙏
Me too. Nice to see the passion of the construction industry ( and the weekend warriors too)
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.
I did not know that, but yes to Vessel!
I think I was wrong, see edit. Carry on!
As a person that changes out a lot of electrical outlets and switches I have to agree.
Its flaw is that you can only get to it in 90deg increments. When the screw is in a hard to reach place that will drive you crazy
