Tool buying Advice requred
Matt_Harrington:
Whilst talking about tools, I wonder if anyone actually uses JIS screwdrivers or just Philips. I tend to use the latter with no issues but I would be interested to know. BTW, I have more screwdrivers than is healthy but no JIS ones!

I use JIS screwdrivers with JIS screws. Philips drivers will not sit correctly in a JIS screw and the risk of rounding of the screw is very great at high torque. Just my opinion and minor experience.

Perhaps I should buy a set - you can't have too many screwdrivers!! ;)

I bought cheap 3 driver set from Halfords. They are absolutely fine for the amount of use I give them.

I have an old T-bar JIS screwdriver for the common case size screws. Never failed me yet.
The issue is the angle of the points being different, so a phillips doesn't apply torque on th e full area it should on a JIS fastener. Right tool for the job is always best.
A lot of folk blaming rounded off screws on bad materials were just using hte wrong tool. Not always......but
