Where to get posidrive tip/bit set?
I didn't see any posidrive at Home Depot, and am becoming surprised
at how little I'm finding online. So far about the best I've done is: http://www.wihatools.com/indexes/indxpozi.htm http://www2.northerntool.com/product-1/200320565.htm Does anyone know of more options? |

"Pozidriv" as a search term will get more hits, since that's the actual trademarked name used by the Phillips Screw Company for the product. You'll find them at most automotive tool suppliers (including quite a few auto parts stores) both by themselves and as part of various driver bit assortments. Although Home Depot does not list them on their website, the bits are present in a number of the tool sets they sell. I'm not sure that they have a bit set that's just Pozidriv, though; it's hard to say without going to a specific store because Home Depot's website does not list anything close to the same selection as their stores carry. -- Typoes are a feature, not a bug.

This isn't an accurate Pozidriv form, but it's close enough for most jobs, and most of the "pozidrive" screws (i.e. not Phillips or Reed) you encounter these days aren't true Pozidriv form anyway. Wiha or Snap-on do the best hex inserts |

I bought a cheap set of Stanley "Fat Max" screwdrivers, 10 or so, at Wally World, and at least 2-3 of them are posidrive, 3-4 Philips and the rest flat. I have a good few British tools anyway, and there's no shortage of posidrive amongst them. I guess they're a slightly more modern design and hence generally anathema to the American outlook on things, in the main, though... |

I always shop for "Negadrive", because I just know I'm going to screw it up. Now, that's what I call a realistically positive attitude.

Both Snap-On and Mac have wonderful Pozidrive assortments. If correctly
sized and used ONLY to drive pozi screws, they have an amazingly long life. Snap-On (and I bet also Mac...) carries them in 1/4" drive bits for magnetic screwdrivers too. For those not familiar, Pozi head screws are used quite a bit, have been for many years. However, most folk don't have a clue about them, and just think they are poorly manufactured/fitting Phillips heads. A good set of Pozi's will really put a big smile on your face. If you Google a little, you will quickly find how to visually identify Pozi heads and driver bits. Also, using Pozi only with Pozi, and Phillips only with Phillips will make both last much longer, and produce far fewer honked screw heads.
