How hard is it to find posidrive screws in the sizes you can find for phillips or square drive? I use mostly 8's and 10' from 1" to 3.5" in both zinc and SS.   I don't like using Phillips anymore since they can cam out so easily and Festool doesn't make a Robertson Centrotec bit yet so that leaves posidrive if you want to take advantage of the Centrotec system.  It doesn't look like there are a lot of  choices out there.  I've never used them before so it is worth it to got the extra effort and expense to stock them verses just using a bit holder and the bit of your choice?
 
Does the centrotec system have star drive / torx?
McFeelys, Fastenal, and the one that advertises in the back of FWW offer a range of torx screws, they work great.
 
they do offer the torx in the centrotec system.  I've never used Torx before as I didn't ever have a need to do so.  I'll have to look them up in McFeely's.
 
I don't belive that McFeely's sells torx, but look into GRK Fasteners.  They are the best you can buy, and you will never want to use another screw again.

No problem at all, everybody has them. And online sales from Axminster, Screwfix and all the usual suspects.  :P
