Cruciform Screwdrivers

Cruciform Screwdrivers




Cruciform screwdrivers are probably the most popular tools in the world. Found in each household, they are available in a great variety of shapes and sizes, but when it comes to the tip, there are two main kinds: Phillips and Pozidriv. At first glance, they look quite similar, and Phillips screwdrivers can even screw Pozidriv heads of a suitable size. But if you look closer, you will see the difference, and this difference prevents Pozidriv screwdrivers from slipping when too much torque is applied and makes them unsuitable for Phillips heads.

Another crucial factor to consider when choosing a new screwdriver is its thickness and length. Unlike thicker universal screwdrivers with interchangeable bits, a simple screwdriver has a notably thinner stem and can be inserted into a smaller hole. Such a tool can be very long to get to some hard-to-reach fasteners, or extremely short to work in narrow places stuffed with numerous mechanisms. For higher torque, we recommend choosing a tool with a larger (probably ribbed) handle, while a thin handle is fine for high-precision works. In our online store, you will find a good collection of cruciform screwdrivers that also include insulated models and those having a magnetic tip.
