Has been around in the automotive industry forever. Snap on sells the special screw drivers. Tips are definitely different

Might have to pick up a driver or 2. Suzuki and Yamahas in my garage right now.

And don’t forget about reed and prince. The wild world of the star screwdriver.

Poorly designed screw driver interfaces are poorly designed.
Torx for the win.

People hate them but they’re the best when you have proper bits

Snap on does sell these? I’ve been looking for awhile now and the only place I’ve found actual JIS screwdrivers is through Amazon and made by Vessel.

Not using the proper JIS driver is half the reason why most screws are stripped out. The other is that most people don’t use the right size. Most commonly a # 2 driver on a # 3 screw. The easy way to identify JIS is there is a dot stamped into the head of the screw between the slots.

You might be thinking of the posi torq or posi grip style. They have like a smaller Phillips within a Phillips style head. The JIS and normal Phillips are pretty much identical, other than the angle of the blades are different
