Ever since electrical manufacturers have started using combination head screws, that combine slotted drive with Philips and or Robertson, it has become increasingly easier to strip them out no matter what driver one uses. Ship has ranted about this problem before, and I certainly agree.
Well, us tool nuts can rejoice because so far there are three tool manufacturers offering us solutions. (Yup, more tools to buy, doesn't that make you happy, derekleffew?)
For combo slotted/Robertson heads, there are the:
Milwaukee ECX
Power Tools - Shockwave Impact Duty Driver Bits - (5) #1 ECX® Shockwave 2" Power Bit
Rack-A-Tiers Lock Hard
Rack-A-Tiers - Specialty Electrical Tools | lockHard Bits
And for slotted/Philips:
Wiha Terminal Block drivers
Terminal Block Insulated Screwdrivers 307 Series From Wiha
Wera PlusMinus
ShowProduct: Wera
I've only personally used the Milwaukee ECX, or, tried to use it, as it fits slotted/Robertson and I tried to use it on slotted/Philips.
Edit: I guess this is more electrics than scenery, I start thinking of driving screws and that seems to make me think scenery.
