There is also another standard.  Specifically, Japanese hardware does not conform exactly the our similar Phillips specifications.

If you do a lot of work with Asian production equipment, you might want to invest in a set of screwdrivers that are made to the JIS, or Japanese Industrial Standard.

Hozan (Japan) and Moody (USA) are a couple good manufacturers of JIS drivers. 

You'll find that you bugger up an lot fewer screw heads that way. 

I'd appreciate any comment from Elecraft as to what type screws they actually use.

Here's a link that has a good explanation. No connection to me, just info only.
