Yeah, and I don't like Pozidriv, because it is looks like it is compatible with Philips, but it performs poorly with it, and doesn't have the same margins of tolerance if you have the wrong size of the bit.
Philips is _enough_. In fact, for most purposes, a slot screw was enough. I am not carrying my bits collection everywhere.

- atemerev 4y agoFor manufacturers on assembly line, if something is not user serviceable, yes, it is OK to use anything, from Torx to Pentalobe to something even more exotic. But if I ever need to service something, I want it to be accessible; I want somebody at least think about it for once. My favorite screw drive type is hybrid Slotted/Philips screw. If it is large enough to be unscrewed by a coin and somebody have thought about it too -- even better.
