Hi,
Here in the USA, trying to get a hold of a Pozidriv is a royal pain in the 
butt, as they're tough to find, and when you do, the ones you find are made 
by Stanley (and since I got the Wiha, I can tell you without hesitation to 
avoid the Stanley one like the plague), which I got thru WW Grainger, ain 
industrial wholesale supply chain, and honestly, it wasn't much better than 
using a normal #1 Phillips head (which seems to be fine for the reed plate 
screws, but NOT for the cover plate screws), but the Wiha is a clearly 
superior tool. Once again, it proves that when it comes to getting good 
quality tools, (although for the longest time, the Stanley was the only one 
I could find here), scrimping for the cheapest deal is NOT an option. My 
guess is that, unlike the reed plate screws, there may not be enough give to 
it, or they may need to change to one made of a much better quality 
material.
