More importantly, Philips #0, #1, #2, #3 are all DIFFERENT shapes,
and Pozidrive #1, #2 are also different, but a single Reed and Prince
tip will fit all Reed and Prince screws...
All screw head types, including straight slot types, require
a special screw driver... if you want the tip to fit, there's LOTS of
wrong choices.

Just a quick tack with a welder solves quite a few problems...
Epoxy for those screws that you can't weld...
Go through a lot of screw drivers that way, but for not having to have a
thousand bits it's a good thing, eh?
