Just a point, don't use a PH bit on a PZ screw or vice versa - shags the
bits in no time.

Yes, that was one problem, the other I found out is to use the correct
size of bit for the screw, that's what I get for trying to rush a job in
the pouring rain.



Ok I'll admit to not knowing the difference between a Pozi and a philips as
they just look the same to me and all seem to go in regardless of what bit I
use. What is the best way to differentiate?

Steven.



IME it is always stamped into the side of them - exact characters vary -
PZ2 or PH2 - or similar.

To avoid mistakes, esp. in the dark, rain, dirt, etc., I wish they were
colour coded - had thought of marking them with a bit of paint - but
never did decide which colours/what paint. :-)

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
