Pozidriv is a GKN patent from the 1960s; it is not compatible with Philips screws and has all but replaced the Philips drive in Europe some forty years ago. Nice that it has arrived in the US as well….

I was told by the Snap-On rep that they held the patent. Who knows? I do know that they have/ or did have the patent on the large screwdrivers (I.E. pry bars) that has the flat of the shaft in line with the flat of the blade. A very distinct advantage. Check out the others. The point of the square is in line with the flat of the tip.
Back in the 20s, Al Jolson was on stage + a drunken heckler calls out, "Tell 'em all you know Al, it won't take long." Al quips back, "I'll tell 'em all we both know + it won't take any longer."
Along the line of snappy comebacks. Muhammad Ali was always kind of a wise-ass + once when he was on a plane the stewardess asked him to put on his seat belt + he pops off, "Superman don't need no seatbelt." She pops right back, "Yeah, well Superman don't need no plane either."
