I believe it is common in Europe, not common in North America. (I
have seen it in my Chevy Blazer, though.) You might find it in screws
that come with the fancy hinges you'll find in some nice furniture.
Look for a screw that looks like a Phillips screw with additional
narrow grooves at 45 degree angles to the main slots.
A Phillips bit will work moderately well on a Pozidriv screw, but the
proper bit will hold a great deal better and is well worth having.
They shouldn't be hard to find; all the tech tool catalogs I've seen
(like Jensen and Contact East) have them; so does SnapOn.
