BEST JIS SCREWDRIVER + GIVEAWAY 

In more recent times JIS has changed a bit. The screws heads are deeper and closer to ISO standard to fit better with Phillips screwdrivers. Vessel and other Japanese screwdriver manufactures have also changed their tip lengths. Some now just mark all their drivers PH as they work with everything. Posidriv, originally designed by Phillips, is what most European industry uses these days. Also flat pack furniture Worldwide. Posidriv does not cam out (unless you use a Phillips screwdriver) and is more secure than JIS. It's about time the US phased out old style Phillips. In industry it's normally better to torque limit the tool not the fastener.

In a road emergency you can, and I have, dragged a Phillips tip across a concrete sidewalk to shorten the tip so it would fit JIS. Best to have the right tools but screwdrivers are cheap enough to be expendable.

Wow I was given my impact screwdriver in a blue case as one of my first tools 6 years ago. Never thought I'd see another person with the exact same one. Nice milwaukee too. Thanks I need to get those fancy JIS screwdriver.

Got a Vessel Impacta a little while ago to work on the infamous Honda/Acura brake rotor screws… it makes short work of those crews without damaging them. It’s one of my favorite tools ⚒️ to own.

The Phillips screwdriver was originally designed for the aviation industry. It was designed to cam out when it hit a specific torque so that you would not strip the aluminum screws that they used in the manufacturing of aircraft.

One tip... when using an impact driver never use more than a 16oz. hammer. You want the bit to turn, not crush. If you break bits your hammer is too heavy.

All these years ... and all those screws in the bin. It's probably stated in the workshop manuals but we always skip to the diagrams dont we. Thanks for this, very informative.

The JIS don’t all have a dot, in my experience.

When I started using the Vessel impact JIS 3 Honda car brake jobs became so much easier. I've only had to drill out 1 screw so far.

I was just about to buy the screw drivers from EBay because of another video you made and decided to do some research and ran into this video; first time I ever heard of JIS. I know its a small commission but I went through your link. I think I made the mistake on using Phillips on a piece a couple of weeks ago and ended up doing the slits on the screws to get it loose. I appreciate the content and other videos you made, keep up the good work.

I’ve wanted to get some of these for a while. Big box store employees acted like I had a 3rd arm growing out of my head when I was asking about JIS drivers.

The green screw is a pozidrive, you can see the extra stripes between he cross

For wood and drywall I prefer Spax. Take a look!

I have been doing my research on JIS since I heard about it as well as working on a 1978 cb400T II. Now I hate phillips, so many things make sense now that I know more about JIS, and phillips has always frustrated me. I have found that the best way to spot a JIS screw is to look at the shape of the slots. Phillips is curved, and JIS is square. The JIS screws I have encountered don't always have dots or their so old or corroded/damaged that you can't see them.

My 1991 toyota truck has jis screws inside the air flow meter

Thanks for the video.. Why not just grind a little flat on the tip of the Philips screwdriver ?

Uh my snap on screwdriver that looks like a Phillips fits these old Suzuki carbs on the FA50 I've rebuilt like 5 carbs this summer I know a guy with a fleet of them. I checked the fitment of the screwdriver to the screw to make sure I wouldn't strip the screw head. So I'm pretty sure these early to mid 80s japanese carbs would have the jis screws yet it was a tight fit I never stripped a single screw and there must've been 12 each bike at least so 60-ish screws not a single problem

thank you..i really appreciate your explanation

Would have been great if you explained that JIS stands for Japanese Industrial Standard..... Next video??

That tan/bronze screw looks like a Pozidriv, not a Philips. For what it's worth.

Do you think you could teach us (or maybe you know someone you could) how to cut and stretch a steel gas tank? I have a Honda tank on my Kawasaki and it is almost perfect. I just wanna stretch it about an inch at the bottom, half at top, and then braze/weld a middle section. I've been wanting to do this for ten years! Just need an example! Maybe some others out there like me too!?

I seen the giveaway and I clicked I looked at the date and it said November 8th I was like yeah and then it was 2 years ago

Where can you buy these as a set? I'm also looking for the thin shaft version also.

That second screw in the vice wasn't a Phillips, it was a pozidrive, jeez

You need to research difference between pozi head and phillips head screws before making vids about JIS.

The rich that can afford to give away money... Should they really win free screwdrivers?
