It was only a few days back you'd posted about these being great drivers.
I need to know what replaced them?

OP
they are great , I actually have 2 sets ( might actually see if the old man wants them for round the house drivers ) and if I lose a driver I can rob one back

I only have the 4.5mm slotted but it's amazing, i basically use it for everything. I have a very expensive set of other drivers and i basically don't use them.
OP
I only have one Boddington driver . a PZ2 , its very nice and I am tempted to buy the full set
But I already have about 6 or 7 full sets and a whole host of other random drivers kicking about in varios boxes and bags

On the subject of drivers; I went to screw some storage contaners to the garage wall a short while back and didn't fancy pulling out tools, so lifted first driver that came to hand.
It was PZ2 and after 10 minutes of rumaging around for wood butcher screws I gave up and lifted a box of 1" scrulox and a scrulox driver. Job done properly and I felt real sympathy for those people who don't know any better.

Roberston Square Drive ?

Pretty much. I continue to pray for the darkness to be lifted from GB, so that its enlightened electricians may enjoy the benefits known to your counterparts in NI (and the people of Canada).
OP
Yeah , Square Drive are big in America and Canada , but hardly ever seen in the UK
That said I was doing some decking recently and the fixings were small square drive
N
nicebutdim
I see more and more plumbers using them over here now. Sparks use nothing else.
I was trying to think where I encountered square drive recently, then I remembered, I got a Trend pocket hole jig for my birthday and that came with square drive screws. Brilliant bit of kit!

nicebutdim
One thing I enjoy about occasional work in GB is leaving square drive screws behind. Helps put a day in knowing how the next guy is going to react.
Where did you get it?
I tried contacting Boddingtons for an account, but don't need a wholesale one, and they got in touch to say CEF are stocking some (but not that, last time I looked) as I lost the driver I had that was great, and the ones remaining are either a touch too small or too large for typical accessory terminals.
OP
I actually got a set of the American Kleins on Sale recently ( the ones with the big black rubber handles ) and this is the American ELectricans 4 piece.
It came with a PH1 , PH2 , large slotted around 6mm and a Square Tip #2
I am guessing these are the most common drivers they use over the Pond.
No pozi at all
N
nicebutdim
I believe Phillips is much more common in US than pozi
OP
From what I have seen on vids on Utube is they pretty much use dry wall screws for everything which are all Phillip head
Plumbers use drywall screws for everything too...and builders.
I had a boat which was built in Scotland the 1960s, all teak and mahogany, and most screws were countersunk and plugged then sanded over and varnished and thus invisible. However, there was a lot of wooden conduit with screwed "lids" and where visible the screw-heads were Robertson

I'm not actually sure - it might have been loadout.
