WHERE ARE MY PRECISION SCREWDRIVERS
-
I know what you mean. I have a few older Hondas and there is jis everywhere. I'm talking jis on the dash, jis on the cluster, jis on the sunvisor, seat track, sunroof... Jis on the gotdamnt headliner. The things are practically covered in jis.
It took all the way till the last sentence before I got the joke.

If it needs to be tight, Robertson or Torx is the only way. The benefit of Robertson over Torx is that it is pretty much immediately clear if the bit fits properly or not. I have stripped too many Torx that were in a place that required a human with an extra elbow and a second wrist to reach, that I thought were t20 but were t25, for example. I keep thinking I’ve learned my lesson.
I keep meaning to buy sets of Phillips, Pozi, and JIS, but never manage to time a stripped screw with a tool sale.
The only thing worse than + is -, and even that is situational.
The only thing worse than more is less, and even that is situational. Sounds cool.

I hate Phillips screws. For this very reason.
Get a JIS screwdriver. Life changing.

You just need the right size screwdriver

You're right that phillips screws are prone to cam out if theres a size mismatch, but it doesn't stop there. Apply too much torque or have a misshapen screw head or bit and you're out of luck.

am i the only person with a set of screw extractor bits?
wrote on last edited by [email protected]I got a set, tried to use them twice and they failed both times. In the first try the bolt metal was too hard for the extrator to bite in in any reasonable time drilling and the second time the screw was too soft and the extractor stripped the hole the extractor makes attempting to extract.

The Nordics are far ahead in this. Torx everywhere.
Ironic, IKEA is married to PZ2. Which to be fair is a fine standard (aside from the fact that unaware people tend to confuse it with PH2 then wonder why their screws are stripped), it's just annoying that I have to switch my drill from T20 to PZ2 to build IKEA furniture.

I have yet to strip any Phillips head screws with my Vessel bits.
Congratulations.
