Description

Correct bit for use on door striker plates, tailgate latches and seat hardware that use Pozidriv bits. Pozidriv hardware looks similar to Phillips head but with a tighter tolerance. 1/4” hex shank, 1” long. See image for comparison of Phillips and Pozidriv screws. See 22008-2AK for striker plate screws. Bit only.

Pozidriv, commonly spelled incorrectly as “Pozidrive”, is an improved variation on the Phillips drive design. After the patent for the Phillips head expired, the company GKN Screws and Fasteners created the Pozidriv design. The Pozidriv drive style was originally formed to address the largest issue Phillips heads are prone to: cam-out. Cam-out is defined as the slipping out of a drive recess that occurs when torque exceeds a certain limit. The Pozidriv drive style has the same self-centering design of a Phillips drive style but improves upon the two following factors:
Increased torque without cam-out.
Greater surface contact engagement between the drive and the recess in the fastener head making it harder to slip when installed correctly.
Pozidriv screws can be used just about anywhere, although they are not nearly as popular as standard Phillips screws. Over the years, many other drive styles, such as the Torx and Robertson, have come out as being more reliable than the Phillips drive style at preventing cam-out and stripping. As an improvement on the Phillips drive style, the main benefit of using the Pozidriv is the increased torque without the increased risk of cam-out. Pozidriv screws can handle significantly more torque on the fastener recess than a Phillips drive can. (History source: Albany County Fasteners).
