Phillips screwdrivers
X-headed fastener turners
Phillips screwdrivers are screwdrivers with a cross-shaped tip designed to fit Phillips head screws, which have a corresponding X-shaped recess.
The design allows the driver to cam out—slip from the screw head—under excess torque, preventing damage.
Hand me the Phillips screwdriver, not the flathead.
