Yeah, again, Robertson is my #1 (no pun intended) pick any day of the week.

stripped out JIS screws

Oh, I absolutely believe that a Philips driver would ruin just about any other type of screw, but I don’t think that’s what the video talks about—they suggest using JIS drivers with Philips screws. Have you also seen problems with that combination?

The biggest problem I have with hex drives is that there are far too many sizes, (in multiple systems!) meaning you have to carry dozens of bits, and using a size that’s just a little too small creates a huge strip risk.

Robertson and Torx both use a comparatively limited number of sizes, which makes the logistics way easier.

Whoops, you’re right, I had my memory of the geometries mixed up.

There is this interesting video that suggests that JIS drivers (a Japanese standard) work pretty well for all cruciform heads.

Correction: they’re a disaster if you use them with a Philips driver. Try a Robertson next time.

(This information is incorrect, see the reply below.)

Pozidriv drivers actually work very well on Philips screws, sometimes better than Philips drivers, due to the fact that the “vanes” are angled rather than curved, proving a larger contact area. Fit is definitely the larger factor, along with the quality of the screw metal.

They’re both junk next to Robertson though.

I’d argue that Robertson is actually superior to Torx, since the “vanes” of the Torx head are more prone to stripping than the solid right angles.

Is this person saying they reflexively thumbs-down videos because the platform puts ads on them?

Dumbass.

But the banks are made of marble

With a guard at every door

And the vaults are filled with silver

That the miners sweated for

Don’t forget Dolly Parton’s Nine to Five

Death by snu-snu.

Thank you, I couldn’t find it for the life of me.
