It's essentially a suspension of abrasive in light oil, which you apply to the screwdriver tip when you need it to resist stripping. Works like a charm, but it's awkward and messy. I like the diamond idea.

Then I realised that these bits are intended to reduce a problem that Robertsons do not have. Seriously, anybody who isn't using Robertsons (also known as square-drive) *needs* to try them: http://www.mcfeelys.com/product/1200-FSL-SB/Special-1200-Sample-Assortment-with-Bits paul b: At first I was surprised there were no Robertson bits, considering this is from Lee Valley.
