Where can I find good quality JIS phillips screwdrivers in sizes #00 - #2?

Are Snap On phillips screwdrivers with anti-camout ribs the same as the JIS
screwdrivers?

In the UK, you'd look for Pozidrive. Philips has a different design of
point.

IMOE and AFAICT the Japanese don't use Posi at all.

No - but it's a closer match to their ISO screws than Philips.

I guess that depends on the quality of Philips tool you use. I've found that
Chinese (et al) "Philips" have lousy slot tolerances and the tools were never a
decent fit, while all the Japanese gear I've worked on - and their automotive
screws - all had a fine fit where you could fit a screw to a horizontal Philips
shaft and it wouldn't fall off.
