Thanks, never heard that name before. In my mother tongue it goes by the simple name of ‘Kreuzschlitzschraubendreher’ and that is no joke.

and that name actually makes sense, like EVERYTHING in Deutsch! because it is a ‘Cross Slotted Screwdriver’… in English American, we venerate Mr. Phillips every single day, amen… whoever he was…

Phillips Head is a trash screwdriver. Like any patriotic Canadian, I believe in Red Robby supremacy

I’m partial to star drive lately. Most of the benefits of robertsons but engagement points every 60 degrees instead of 90.

I didn’t know the term for that kind of screwdriver in German, but I speak it enough that if someone asked me for one, I’d know what they meant because the name is descriptive. In English, not so much.

They take existing words and slap them together to make new ones. For example, a turtle is a shield toad and gloves are hand shoes.
