Default Why are #1 stubby Philips screwdrivers an endangered species?

Every screwdriver kit on the planet has a #2 stubby Philips screwdrivers.


I don't know if I've ever even seen a #1 stubby Philips.


What gives?

one's a bigger size than the other, in terms of width of the screw head that it drives.

I thought there were stubby's for both sizes?

This better not end up in the badlands...

I know they're out there, it's just that every screwdriver set I've ever seen comes with a #2 stubby and not a #1 stubby. Seems to me like if you need a stubby screwdriver than chances are you'd be better off with a #1 than a #2. That hasn't struck anybody else as weird?


If I wanted to play with #1, 2 and 3 Robertson's I'd move to frickin' Canuckistan.
