A) in the picture above shows the difference in the way screws are marked, though not all the JIS screws are marked with such a dot (1).
The second cause of confusion is the frequently repeated claim that the "JIS Standard" became obsolete in the 2008.

A man named John P. Thompson invented (and patented under US Pat. No. #1,908,080) a “recessed cruciform screw” in 1932. In 1933 he also patent-protected a matching screwdriver. But he was probably as good a salesman and capitalist as I am, so he couldn’t get anyone to produce screws and screwdrivers with this patent. 🙂 HiKOKI is always developing and innovating its impressive inventory of tools. In particular, their battery technology can power both 18V and 36V machines.

I also fished out the screwdrivers from the Kowa toolkits that came with my old Hondas, one from the 70s and one from the 60s. There was a clear visual difference between the two, with the older versions being noticeably narrower at the tip: L-R: 1960s #3, 1970s #3, 1960s #2, 1960s #2 Facom make great tools. In fact, if you attend any historic races sporting Formula One cars, you’re likely to see a fair number of Facom tools floating around the pits. They seem to have an “in” with that crowd.

This standard stipulates Phillips screwdrivers used for threaded parts with H-type and S-type cross recesses of JIS B 1012. Unfortunately, the Ames # 1404090 is no longer listed (Ames is no longer in business as of February 2013). Regarding the blade length, diameter and weight, this set contains a firm diversity. You’ll have a 75mm long blade on the smallest one. Eventually, the largest one sports 300mm of blade length. The diameter of the blades ranges from 3mm to 6mm all the way. And the same goes for the handle diameter- from 15.4mm to 33.5mm.
