Leatherman Tread, a New Wearable Multi-tool

I've never heard of Pozidriv before, but reading about it on Wikipedia it says "They can be unscrewed with a regular Phillips screwdriver". So it sounds like Phillips screwdrivers are still quite useful.

It "sort of" works. A Pozidriv screwdriver will have better grip and if you apply too much force the PH screwdriver will possibly destroy your PZ screw head. (And vice versa).

Good to know. For context, as an American, I've definitely seen Pozidriv screws before (without knowing that they were a distinct screw type from Phillips), but there's also plenty of Phillips screws here too. I'm not sure offhand which is more common here.
