Those Phillips II remind me of the
Pozidrive. The biggest problem with Phillips is that by their nature they were DESIGNED to cam-out due to their initial use on automated machinery before finely tuned torq drivers were developed. From what I understand Pozidrive has greatly replaced Phillips in Europe. By anything from IKEA and there are almost assuredly going to be Pozidrive fasteners holding it together.
Also for the history lesson, the Robertson drive is older than the Phillips by nearly 30 years. However, Mr. Robertson was much more protective of his patent than Mr. Phillips. When approached by Henry Ford, who was looking for a screw to speed up the assembly process, Mr. Robertson refused to license his screw to Henry, having been screwed over (lol pun) on a previous licensing agreement. Mr. Phillips on the other
hand didn't press his patent, and thus with widespread use, followed by several imitations on the marked, lost the patent it in the 40's, whereas Robertson remained patented till the 60's. Of course, by that
point, Phillips had come to dominate. I think in the future, as has already begun to happen in the past few years, we will see Robertson becoming a lot more common here in America.
Also, when buying your Phillips bits (or any really) please don't cheap out and go for the cheapest bits on the shelf. The cheap bits strip faster, which lead to more stripped screws, OR if you are diligent about swapping out stripped bits, a usage of more bits. In the long term you are loosing money by buying cheap bits. Myself, and of course showing my DeWalt
bias here, like their contractor sized
bit packs. To each their own I guess.
