[Elecraft] OT: more than you should ever want to know about Screwhead Types

[Don Wilhelm]

Yes, it is true that there are many screwhead types.
Contrary to comments earlier on this reflector, using a Pozidrive as a 
Phillips screwdriver is not always a good idea - the Pozidrive will not 
fit into a correctly sized Phillips screwhead forcing one to use a 
smaller size Pozidrive. 

One thing for certain, those "Phillips" screwdrivers that have a sharp 
tip are not Phillips type at all - either blunt the point with a grinder 
until it fits with precision into a Phillips screwhead or buy a proper 
Phillips screwdriver.  I always have preferred Xcelite brand 
screwdrivers - they fit my hands quite nicely and feel comfortable in use.
