Bonnet and door screws cross head size
« on: September 23, 2023, 05:35:07 PM »
Hi,
I thought I had most sizes of bits but these I don't.
PZ3 and PH3 don't fit well, appears larger.

Is it a PZ4? [edit, no it's not]

I think they're PH4. My Philips impact driver bit (8mm hex) is a perfect fit - I notice that the flutes (the bits in between the cross) are radiused not cut square and the screw heads are too I've never noticed that with smaller PH sizes.

Thanks Stuart.

I actually pre-empted your comment by ordering a PH4 yesterday.
it was my last known option so I'll comment after trying
this with my hammer-impact thingy.
