Looking at my iFixit screwdriver bit set for electronics, which sports some 60+ bits and still doesn't cover everything I happen upon, I'm thinking the standards are being less than helpful here. I mean, it's good to have them, but it would be better to have way fewer equivalent options.



Most of those are not standardized according to any proper standard. They are intentionally obfuscated to make access and repairs difficult.
