HOW TO – Enhance the functionality of many screwdrivers…

Yawfle has an Instructable on making your screwdrivers better – “Most of the phillips (or “crosspoint”) screwdrivers that I’ve come across have tip geometry that can be improved a great deal with a little grinding. The simple process shown here probably delivers the most improvement for the least effort, in the largest number of cases… it consists of slightly squaring off the tip with a grindstone.” Link.

    also, be aware of the difference between pozidrive and phillips heads- In my experience an unmodified phillips will strip a pozidrive screw in very short order.
