[TR] posidrive vs phillips

[scotts junk]

The differences is in the shape of the slots. The Phillips slots are tapered,
whereas the Posidrive slots are parallel sided. Posidrive is less likely to
slip.  A Phillips driver will not fit a Posidrive screw correctly and is
forced out of the slots by the taper on the bit.

Most good tool stores should have Posidrive bits (there are different sizes,
just like Phillips); if you can't find one anywhere else, check a ski shop -
ski bindings are fastened with posidrive screws (coached skiing for 20 years -
ask me how many Phillips drivers I've ruined doing emergency binding repairs
when there wasn't a posidrive at hand  ).
