Furniture restorers love em and will usually buy up old stock. The
rest of us realise the poziheads are generally superior to use
especially where they won't be seen.



I would standardize all screws as PZ2s.

I wouldn't, PZ3 is a good intermediary before you get to coach screws.
And PZ1 has its place on smaller stuff.


As with everything, too many inbetweens. For example, why does a car need 5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20mm bolts? Why not just 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20?
