Phillips screwdriver
X-headed fastener turner
A Phillips screwdriver has a cross-shaped tip that fits into Phillips head screws—those with an X-shaped indentation rather than a single slot.
The design allows more torque than flathead screws and is standard in most hardware: Hand me the Phillips screwdriver, not the flathead.
