What's the difference between a Phillips screwdriver and a flathead?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

A Phillips screwdriver is shaped like a "T" at the point. This is for screws that have a head that have a matching "T" pattern. This could also be considered an "x" shape as the two sides are usually of the same length. These screws tend to have a better grip when you try to add torque to the turning power as the screw and driver have a more solid connection.
A flathead screwdriver is a single line with a rather sharp tip. This is used for screws with the same corresponding head. You can work to use a flathead in a Phillips head screw, but it will often slip out because the center connection is not as secure. It is impossible to use a Phillips screwdriver with a flathead screw.
