The 6 piece set I saw only had X2 ph/pz and those are the ones I was really after. They probably sell a pz/ph only set somewhere but I couldn't find it.

They are listed as ph1 and 2 with the other 4 slotted on Amazon and Wera site but the ones I’ve got are pozi so not sure if they’ve changed the set since I got mine or it was a mistake

Yea I looked everywhere but was the same...for me the slotted screwdrivers aren't really that useful as I hardly use them.
I also bought a set of their screwdriver bits...was the same...a bunch of bits thrown in that really I could do without!

I think I was sent the wrong set but suits me as most of the screws I have are pozi anyway.
This is the set I have and it’s not the one I paid for

Flat are good for removing old painted over screws so you can bin them and replace with pozi.

I spent years battling on with the same 2 or 3 worn out rounded tips before it occurred to me to buy a bulk pack, and sling the tip when it started to round off a bit.
And to use the right tip on the right screw, not all cross heads are Pozi.

I really dislike pozi drives....actually that's not accurate...I dislike that there are two very similar looking drives and one with nicely round out the screws of the other!
Surely the world should have stuck with standard star point or switched to pozi and be done!

Pozi are more a European thing, afaik, whereas Philips are US in origin and should have stayed there. JIS came along to muddy the waters, but I never had any real trouble with them simply by using a Pozi. Although when I finally got a couple of JIS drivers they gripped even old knacked screw heads bloody well.
I'm somewhat disappointed that new JIS are a bastared abomination combo of JIS / Philips.

In an attempt to better organise my garage, bit the bullet and ordered some Euro boxes
The size I wanted all seemed to be around £12 per box plus delivery.
Then found Solent Plastics selling new boxes made from recycled plastic for £6 each

There have been something like 43 different variants of cross-head screws over the years, if my recollection is correct.

Bought as a test sample...just fed up with nasty grips...I would usually say cheap and nasty but some I've bought weren't actually cheap!
So far I'm happy...the black bits will need some oil to prevent rust but they feel nicely made and the thread bit is actually joined so works properly!
Brand is Beta (1052-240)...I'll buy a few more I think...wanted to test one out.

Someone on here recommended Beta...these definitely feel a lot nicer than my old ones. I'm going to get half a dozen pairs I reckon of varying sizes and grips....but I wanted to try one out as I've been duped in the past!!
