Pozidrive screws in engine bay?

In pulling out the wiring harness on Tunebug, I've run into a screw that looks like a Phillips, but doesn't seem to be. Gave it a bit of a try, but not so much as to strip it. It's one of the screws holding down a clip for the harness, down near the brake light switch on the inner fender panel. Might this be one of the elusive Posidrive [sp?] screws I've heard tell about? Do I get to buy some more tools?

It was on the clearance table at Lowe's.

#3? No sweat. Whia has ‘em. So do Wera, Facom and Snap-On. Heck I got a #3 for free at a trade show. I was just standing there looking at it and the rep said to keep it. It’s a nice German made Belzer too.

Now a #4, that was a little harder to come by.

I got one at my local tool emporium. Cheapish. Guy said he sells one every four or five years.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yesnod.gif

Yes, they are actually worth much more than this but I havent bought any in 2 years and they are at these prices until I get rid of them all!

Please keep in mind that I may only have 1 or 2 of each left in stock!!!!!

Britishtools, you rock!

Man, when I was hunting for mine I called Facom USA and was told I couldn't get them over here. I sure wish I knew about you back then! (And I'm sure as heck glad I do now!)

Good folks there at British Fasteners, for sure. Of course, I wasn't fast enough and got beat out on a couple of the bits, but they were nice enough to call and let me know. Nice to see some customer service is still around.
