Thanks for reminding me of the illustrations of the points. It turns out that I have 3 other (little used) sets of drivers that I had always assumed were Philips. All 3 sets are JIS. One 16 piece set even has the torque bar but only the hex drivers have the hole in the shaft. No hole in the cross-point or flat blade drivers. I guess I don't need any more miniature drivers. Shhh. Don't tell my wife I said that. :-)

Those are nice.  I'd buy a set if I knew where to get them.

This is a nice example.

If you look at the 4th. image down, it shows the tips, and the cross
point ones are clearly JIS, not Phillips, referring back to your prior
link.

The illustrations in the box are the same.

I have the identical set, except for brand name and color of interior
plastic liner. There are some smaller sets on Amazon, but the ones near
the top of my search didn't have the hole in the shaft nor the bar to
fit through it.

These sets are mostly mislabeled as including Phillips screwdrivers.
Ignorant translations and/or labelers. They are available all over the
place, under various brand names.
