1. Pozidriv vs Phillips screws – what’s the difference?

Pozidriv screws have additional ribs between the main cross slots, offering more contact points. This provides better torque control and less chance of cam-out than Phillips screws.

2. Can I use a Phillips screwdriver on Pozi screws?

3. Are Pozi screws suitable for outside use?
