Phillips Screws

[Farrell]

I believe the post provided potentially valuable advice regarding another type of drive tip that may be beneficial when working with phillips screws. I did not read any recommendation for "an inferior product like Phillips". Consider easing up a little.

Thank you Scott, I found your post to be of value - I was not aware there were different types of phillips screws.
