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

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.

[–] HakFoo@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 5 months ago

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 5 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 5 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

Me too. Nice to see the passion of the construction industry ( and the weekend warriors too)

[–] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

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 5 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 5 months ago (1 children)

I did not know that, but yes to Vessel!

[–] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

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

[–] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee -2 points 5 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 5 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.
