I've been using a #1 Phillips driver for the case screws on my Icom and
Kenwood Ham Radio equipment. It seems to work OK, as long as I use a
driver that hasn't had its tip rounded.
Does anyone know if these particular screws are actually PoziDrive?
I don't know if it`s always the case with chinese made screws, but a
true posidrive screw should have an embossed X on the head at 45 degrees
to the X formed by the slots.
True.
My best bet however is to try several 'heads' from my driver and see which 'locks
in' best. It's often VERY obvious !
