- Best Phillips Screwdrivers? - 6 Updates
| jurb6006@gmail.com: Dec 26 07:11PM -0800 >"I have two #1 Phillips screw drivers with trashed tips I need to replace." Try grinding the end of the tip some and using them as a #2. That solves the problem of under broached heads. This is when the broaching tool wears out and does not go deep enough. Years ago I had some #2s that were so good you could stick them in the screws in the sides of a VCR and they would stay there, supporting their own weight. Off brand, buck apiece at an auto parts store. Once I bought a couple and found out how good they are I went back and bought them all. But that was like 20 years ago and they are all gone. I cut some of the handles off for use i drilldrivers as well and they seemed to hold up. There are also variants. For contractor use, Milwaukee makes a slightly different one. Only available as an insert though. But if you need to drive a four inch decking screw into a 2X4 and 4X4 and have a powerful enough drill, they grab well enough to break the head of the screw off. Had it happen, and those were some pretty beefy screws. These inserts are slightly narrower than a normal #2 and you can see the tip is cut a bit differently. Like they don't intend for it to bottom out. |

Cheap, soft, poorly formed screws? You bet. Soft shitty poorly formed JIS screws also exist - in cheap, shitty, poorly made Japanese vacuums. Not nearly as common as they used to be (japanese quality is generally pretty good today) |

Alas, it's not that simple. Pozidrive is licensed by Phillips just like Phillips is, the Japanese use JIS standards instead. Frearson (aka Reed and Prince) is a fourth standard; that one, rarely slips and doesn't have multiple sizes with different shapes. It's rare, though. |

I bought this cheapo Harbor Freight set to get the special bit for Game Boy Dual Screens: http://www.harborfreight.com/32-piece-screwdriver-set-with-tweezers-97517.html Those bits aren't 1/4 inch but rather 5/32 inch. I was able to use it with a small torx bit to get down into a deep hole that my 1/4 bits couldn't. Nothing special but it has already paid for itself. Figure it should last for awhile if I only use it when necessary... -- Leon Fisk Grand Rapids MI/Zone 5b Remove no.spam for email |

Some others came to a similar conclusion. http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-tools/hozan-jis-screwdrivers-review/ Now if a driver seems to camming too much, I just try a different driver or when I can, resort to an impact driver (hammer type) which is an indispensable tool sometimes, especially for old motorcycle stuff. http://www.dansmc.com/impactdriver.jpg |
