useful fact: JIS screwdrivers work in Philips screws just fine. Philips screwdrivers will destroy a JIS screw in short order. this leads to lots of stripped screws on old ham radios

If you’re working on Japanese things, (cameras and stuff) they often use JIS screws, not Philips. 👍🏼

JIS screwdrivers are lovely things that Just Work Better, because they're not designed with the cam action Philips intended. I tend to use my JIS drivers now for everything because they feel so nice.
