Pozidriv should be fucking banned oh my god why is it so common in the uk it’s so deeply inappropriate for 99.99% of applications

If you use the right driver and right size of driver. It's very good. In my experience it's much better than Phillips.

Torx, hex and Robertson are better, but they don't self centre. So if your doing a lot of screwing, pozi drive is king. Because it self centres, it's much faster. It's great for construction type work (decking, plasterboard, walls etc).

If your doing more fine work, or need to apply a lot of torque it's shouldn't be used. But very long/thick screws tend to be external hex, torx or combinations of these at Screwfix/Toolstation.

Pozidriv is what Phillips should have been all along, except that bed has already been shat. It's like the American electrical socket, someone made a decision in 1902 that we're still stuck with and modern attempts to improve it just get in the way.

Pozi is amazing for household applications where you don't need the torque of torx, and amazing for line work where screws won't be touched ever again (framing etc.)
