=== Ifixit "PH" bit ===
=== Ifixit "PH" bit ===
As mentioned in [[Identifying screw head and type]], JIS and PH are not interchangeable. In reality, if you push hard, JIS will work most of the time in PH especially if you are used to pushing. Due to this, Ifixit decided to make their #0 to #0000 PH bits practically JIS with maybe some unnoticeable differences. The issue is now that their kit doesn't have a real PH bit. On something hard to unscrew like the rail screws of a Nintendo Switch, this often will make you strip your screws. Now its nice on JIS as now it fits but now you don't have a PH in your kit. As a lot of people see Ifixit's screwdrivers as "the good ones", this has caused the following problem.

When the screwdriver kit that you trust doesn't have a PH bit in it and you are in control of the guides, you get this.
