Mr Phillips, and I wish he hadn't bothered. there is a superior alternative made in Canada, its called Robertsons, and we are fortunate that it is obtainable in Northern Ireland,
It has a square in the head instead of slot or star, and it "cams" in and not out as in a Phillips type.
This is because the bottom of the hole is bigger that the top..
Very popular with electricians, plumbers, and curtain fitters.
