screwdriver
Slot-fitting hand tool
A screwdriver is a hand tool with a handle and a shaft ending in a tip shaped to fit into the head of a screw, used to turn screws in or out.
The most common types are flathead (with a single blade) and Phillips (with a cross-shaped tip).
Screwdriver also names a cocktail of vodka and orange juice, so called because it was supposedly first stirred with an actual screwdriver.
Hand me that Phillips screwdriver.
