pozzi and phillips screws

[big-all]

heeelllooo just to clarify the diffirence

between phillips and pozzi

phillips bits are a plain star pattern numberd ph 0 ph 1 ph2 ph 3

pozzi are a star within a star pattern no pz0 pz1 pz2 pz3

most screws are pozzi no2

you should be able to hold the screw on the bit

if its loose at all its the wrong bit for the screw

and should never make that machine gun noise

big all

Any idea why screwfix call their screws 'Prodrive'? They look like pozidrive and screwfix do say compatible with.

 

[big-all]

are you talking about quick silver and gold screws m s

 

[murraysnudge]

Yes, the goldscrew. Best screw I've found so far.

 

[big-all]

it more like trade names if you look at the screw head and its
got the double star pattern easily recognised by the star lines on the
head they are pozzi
you can virtualy throw your philips bit into your car or engineers kit
cos thats virtualy the only place you will use them

they all call them there own name

a hoover is a hoover they all do the same job

What about a Hoover Dam? That's rubbish at vacuum cleaning carpets... However it does an excellent job of holding back water. Try that with a bagless hoover and you will be sorely disappointed... I should know.

wet and dry but better at wet

alot lot lot better wet

Shouldn't it be called a Spangler, after all, he invented it? Hoover does sound more descriptive though.

A bit like the missnomer that Alexander Graham Bell invented the Telephone. Is is, perhaps, due to the "ringing" properties of telephones, that Bell was able to get away with, stealing the credit from it's Italian inventor.

and Thomas Edison, invented the light bulb eh? (still he was a yank, and according to the films they captured the enigma machine and deciphered it's workings)

On the other hand, poor old Thomas Crapper seems to have had credit foisted on him that nobody else wanted to take responsibility for.

And to cause some confusion.
BOTH are Philips
Posidrive were invented by Philips to replace the Philips screws.
