screwdrivers

Twist fasteners tight

Screwdrivers are hand tools with a handle and a shaft ending in a tip shaped to fit into screw heads—flathead for slotted screws, Phillips for cross-shaped recesses.

Power drills often replace them for heavy work.

A screwdriver is also a cocktail of vodka and orange juice: I'll have a screwdriver.
