text: (leave the slot due to the torque being translated into an axial force — similar to that encountered with Phillips drive but dependent only on driver blade), so more torque can be applied without damaging the screw head.
text: It was designed to allow more torque to be applied and greater engagement than Phillips drives.
text: Conversely, while Phillips screwdrivers will loosely fit and turn Pozidriv screws, they will cam out if enough torque is applied, potentially damaging the screw head or screwdriver.
text: This drive type has the disadvantage of not being as precisely controlled as can be obtained by proper use of a torque wrench; applications may still fail due to either too little torque being applied to correctly fasten the joint, or too much torque being required to shear the head, resulting in damage to the material being fastened.[citation needed]
text: Some also have pivoting handles which, when engaged, give the user a boost in the torque that can be applied.
text: These points decrease the likelihood the bit will cam-out, which allows greater torque to be applied.
text: The screwdriver uses applied torque to tighten down
text: Phillips is designed so that when excess torque is applied it will cam out rather than ream the recess and destroy the bit.
text: The supposed difference in true JIS screws is that a true old-style Phillips screwdriver will “cam out” of the screw if too much torque is applied.
text: This screwdriver type is essentially an upgraded version of Philips, it was designed to reduce cam-out, which is the process where a screwdriver slips out of the screw head when more torque is applied.
text: This design made improvements on the original which enabled higher torque to be applied while minimising wear.
text: This means that the torque from tightening the screw is unevenly applied.
text: In addition, the slotted screw may become stripped if too much torque is applied.
text: It doesn't cam out, so great torque can be applied.
