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.

Personally, I prefer torx

I was thinking that, but pozidrive has the advantage that the
screwdriver bit falls into place itself as you start turning.

I attempted to change to Torx screws but found that I needed 3 different
size bits, whereas with PZ a No2 fitted the whole range.


There is that - as well as T20 torx bits cost £1.20 each, unlike PZ2


25.5p actually, similar to PZ2.

This goes on for several weeks, the woman sending the same note to the laundry.
Finally fed up the Chinaman responded with his own note that said, "Use more paper on ass."
