A) in the picture above shows the difference in the way screws are marked, though not all the JIS screws are marked with such a dot (1). If you look at fine "Philips" tips (at least with Wiha ones) you will recognize that they are shaped the "JIS" way. Differences between JIS and Phillips screws and screwdrivers are difficult to tell with the naked eye, but are easily noticed when using a screwdriver!

Phillips bits have a larger angle and therefore don't bottom out in the JIS screws, causing slippage. This is all down to the screws actually being JIS (Japanese Industry Standard) screws, a slightly different size and shape to normal Phillips head screws, meaning any screws you may find too tight on your MX-5 will inevitably end up being ruined because of this.I've sold hundreds of TOPTUL screwdrivers built to the DIN 5260 specification, primarily to motorcycle people as they are the ones that have the most problems since their screws are torqued the tightest, and they have all LOVED them. And here in Germany (and neighbouring countries), except some nerds busy on international photo forums, no one knows of JIS screwdrivers. And instead of this, they try to teach us integers and factorials in middle school… How about knowledge you not might but WILL use in real, everyday life? Based on my experience, I ‘m confident the cross-point screws used on Shimano components have a JIS standard cross-point head. The rest of this post is a rather detailed explanation of the crossed-head screwdriver topic, but with no final answer for now, just a few practical examples.

Cheaper tools also don’t fit very well in one’s hand, often being more impractical to use, making the work slower, and less comfortable. Pound Through JIS Screwdriver Set If you've got a tight JIS screw, insert one of these screwdrivers into the head and give the top of the screwdriver a good sharp tap with a hammer and you'll find that you should be able to undo it.

I’m not an expert on education, so could be wrong – maybe such things should not be taught before university, because most people don’t go to a university. Now it is defined only by (DIN) ISO 8764-1 PH (standard designated in 2004) and (DIN) ISO 8764-2 PH.

After a brief Pozidriv/Supadriv digression, how does one find a good screwdriver for Phillips and/or JIS screws? Set of four JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) Ph2 and Ph3 impact driver bits in both standard (36mm) and long length (80mm) sizes. Production lines in the 30s (XX century), especially in the growing automobile industry, did have electric screwdrivers, but very few of those had the option of setting up the tightening torque. B) shows how Phillips has a very slight curve (2) – not really visible to the naked eye (exaggerated in the drawing), but it makes the difference when force is applied, “helping” the screwdriver slip out (and in).

Even though it is a removable blade design it holds it very securely (better than Milwaukee, Klein or a number of other removable blade screwdrivers i have) .
