Here in the US I keep 3 basic types of + point screw drivers in my box
(and I hate them all). The ubiquitous "philips", "Reed & Prince" mostly
found in ship yards, and "posi-drive" kind of like a metric philips used
in Euro style cabinet hardware and distinguished by little hash marks
between the + arms like this * . So where does the "cross-point" fit
into this picture. Is it an entirerly different standard? Will I have to
learn to curse another type of + point? Didn't these engineers ever hear
of Robertson or torx or hex head?
