Types of Head

Pozi and Phillips Heads

The difference between Pozi and Phillips Heads is the shape of the crosshead screwdriver needed. A Pozi screw driver will undo a Phillips screw and vice versa but the fit is not perfect and can lead to the screw head being "wrecked".

The outward difference is that a Pozi screw head has 4 small lines bisecting the "cross".(see picture)
