Well, I now have a set of Vessel JIS screwdrivers. They appear to be
just as pointy as the Phillips drivers I have. I did some digging, and
ran across a drwaing that compares JIS to Phillips:

I would say they are mislabeled. The look correct if you reverse the
labels.

The JIS appears to be pointier. However, I also found a photograph that
compares the two:

and that shows exactly the opposite.

Those look like I would expect...

I still need to replace my Phillips #1's, and based on the various
comments, I think I will try Wera or Wiha.

I don't think it pays to be a tool elitist anymore. Name Brands are
churning out crap too. One year they selling something good, next year
it isn't but looks EXACTLY the same.

You should just stop into your preferred store, Menards, Home Depot,
Lowes, Sears... and look over what they have. If you use it a short
time and it seems to be okay go buy a spare

If you have a company account you order through though... that's a
different can of worms...
