Posidriv was developed by the Phillips screw company, which is the same company that developed the cross-head screw. The also have a squaredrive system, which is not a "Robertson" drive..Robertson is a commonly accepted term for sqaredrive screw systems, but is actually just the name of the company that developed them, just as Phillips designed the "phillips" screw system..just as all copy machines are not Xerox, all cross heads are not "Phillips", all sqaredrives are not "Robertson", and all blue concrete screws are not "tapcons"....

	I've heard people refer to the posidrive screws as a "blunt point phillips" which isn't entirely accurate of course. You can sometimes grind down the point on an old phillips screwdriver and get a somewhat better fit. (I bought the correct drivers years ago) There's more to it than just the shorter tip though. I've never figured out what the benefit of the posidrive style fastener was but there must have been something. Is it a type of assembly line fastener? -->>>Mike '64 sunroof Beetle '55 semaphore Beetle

	if you cant get a fitting on a brake line loose then cut tubing next to flair nut and use a 9MM 6 point socket and ratchet, -replace tubing or if enough slack then re-flair the metric bubble flair.
