Screwdrivers

Screwdrivers are essential hand tools used for driving and removing screws. They come in various types, each designed for specific screw types and applications. Here are some common types of screwdrivers:

Flathead Screwdriver: Also known as a slotted screwdriver, this type features a flat, straight blade that fits into slotted screws with a single linear groove. Flathead screwdrivers are commonly used for general household tasks and older equipment.

Phillips Screwdriver: Phillips screwdrivers have a cross-shaped tip with four blades, designed to fit into Phillips screws with a cross-shaped indentation. Phillips screws are widely used in many industries, including electronics and automotive. The most common sizes of Phillips screwdrivers are #1 and #2.

Pozidriv Screwdriver: Similar to Phillips screwdrivers, Pozidriv screwdrivers also have a cross-shaped tip but with additional smaller blades. They provide better engagement and torque transfer, making them suitable for high-torque applications. Pozidriv screws are commonly used in construction and woodworking.

Torx Screwdriver: Torx screwdrivers have a star-shaped tip that fits into Torx screws, which have corresponding star-shaped recesses. Torx screws provide better torque transfer and are commonly found in electronics, automotive, and machinery. The most common sizes of Torx screwdrivers are T5 to T20.
