Yes, it is true that there are many screwhead types.
Contrary to comments earlier on this reflector, using a Pozidrive as a
Phillips screwdriver is not always a good idea - the Pozidrive will not
fit into a correctly sized Phillips screwhead forcing one to use a
smaller size Pozidrive.
One thing for certain, those "Phillips" screwdrivers that have a sharp
tip are not Phillips type at all - either blunt the point with a grinder
until it fits with precision into a Phillips screwhead or buy a proper
Phillips screwdriver. I always have preferred Xcelite brand
screwdrivers - they fit my hands quite nicely and feel comfortable in use.

I have to admit, Reid and Prince as well as Pozidriv were new to me.
