I've been needing some good electrical terminal block screwdrivers and was
wondering if I could make some better than the ones you buy.

I'd like to find a decent screwdriver designed to fit these idiotic half
phillips half straight screws on many IEC contactors.

I always try a #2 phillips first, then a #1 if that doesn't fit
perfectly, and I don't recall ever having a problem. I also get a
good, heavy contact with it at a perfect 90 degrees before I attempt
to remove a terminal screw. They're usually -very- tight.

With blade screw heads, I've never found a perfect fitting screwdriver
tip. All my blade headed screws are replaced by phillips, square, or
Torx heads wherever possible.

Q: Does anyone here NOT have a scar to show from an old blade
screwdriver wound? (I didn't think so.)
