Japanese TRX use JIS not Phillips screws


Ever wonder why it is so easy to damage a screw on a Japanese made radio using a Phillips head screwdriver? Obscure, but simple, they use JIS screws not Phillips!

I haven't checked, but I think they are on made-in-Japan cars, certainly lots of other gear.

JIS screws, which pre-date Phillips by 20 years, usually have a dot or other indent on the head.

The solution is simple, buy a set of JIS screwdrivers, about $25 on eBay.

    You can see a pozidrive, but not a JIS, other than the indent. I have a huge collection of screwdriver bits, but bought a set of JIS screwdrivers. They are in most Japanese products.
