What's the difference between Phillips and Pozidrive? (sp?) Does Pozidrive
have narrower flutes, or something like that? I have sometimes fudged the
matter on my cars by using a No. 1 Phillips, which is kind of thinner and
pointier than the ever-popular No. 2. There have been times when I thought
I was looking at a Pozidrive screw but couldn't really tell the difference.
I may figure this out for myself real soon. I just acquired one of those
multi-tip accessory sets with eight zillion attachments for my Skil Super-
Twist power screwdriver. (Absolutely amazing tool, btw, not to be confused
with the somewhat anemic original Skil Twist.) The accessory set comes with
a set of Pozidrive tips for it; these appear to be standard issue in power
screwdriver accessory packs these days.
