This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

What is pozi compatible recess?
Pozidrive is a type of screwhead like Phillips head. Its shape is similar to a Phillips head, but it has indentations at the inside corners of the "cross" (the black silhouette of the screwhead on the OP packaging shows this better than I can explain it). Pozidrive screwdrivers have lobes that slot into these indentations. IIRC, pozidrive is supposed to have less chance of camming out of the screw and stripping the head than Phillips.
Pozi compatible recess means that you'll be able to use a pozidrive screwdriver with these screws.
As a guy who rides Japanese motorcycles, giv me JIS, or give me death.
Unless you use a regular Philips head with them and then they have a hire chance of camming out 🙂.
