Most screws in modern engineering are pozi drive. I think every screw I've touched on recent bikes has been. The right tool makes such a difference.

perhaps someone could get a stock of them and sell them to us... buy in bulk, get a discount, make a couple bucks on us...

Guys?
They may NOT be pozi-drive heads. They could be Phillips-heads but made to a different standard than the ANSI/ISO standard screw-heads commonly used in Europe and the USA. The standard used is known as JSI and its used throughout the far-east etc. JSI spec` Phillips screwdrivers and bits are available but you have to search hard for them. Pozi-drive heads are generally only used with self-tapping screws or in woodworking applications.

JSI spec` Phillips heads are designated the following sizes:

000
00
0
1
2
3

Ask the Snap-on man for JSI spec`Phillips, he will know all about them, or do a websearch and see if you can find a set locally.

Dang! 100 things for $5.99!  Me want.

"I've seen them for ridiculously low prices at Harbor Freight. Quality unknown, but these days it's probably the same as you get for more money elsewhere:

harbor freight is great for making the tool you need out of something close and cheap.
