There are several types of screwdrivers, each designed for specific types of screws:

• Flathead (Slotted) Screwdrivers: For screws with a single slot.
• Phillips Screwdrivers: For screws with a cross-shaped slot.
• Pozidriv Screwdrivers: Similar to Phillips but with additional cross slots for better grip.
• Torx Screwdrivers: For screws with a star-shaped pattern, often used in electronics and automotive applications.
• Hex (Allen) Screwdrivers: For screws with a hexagonal socket, commonly used in furniture assembly and bicycles.
• Robertson (Square) Screwdrivers: For screws with a square socket, mostly used in North America.

Screwdrivers come in various sizes to match different screw sizes. Common sizes include:

• Flathead: Blade widths range from 2 mm to 10 mm.
• Phillips and Pozidriv: Sizes range from #0 (smallest) to #4 (largest), with #1 and #2 being most common.
• Torx: Sizes range from T1 (smallest) to T100 (largest), with T10, T15, and T20 being common.

Precision screwdrivers are small, fine-tipped screwdrivers used for delicate tasks such as repairing electronics, watches, and eyeglasses. They come in various types like Phillips, flathead, Torx, and hex.

Insulated screwdrivers are designed for electrical work. They have a non-conductive coating that protects the user from electric shock when working with live circuits. They are typically rated for up to 1,000 volts.

Match the screwdriver type to the screw head: Use a Phillips screwdriver for Phillips screws, a flathead screwdriver for slotted screws, etc.

Use the correct size: Ensure the screwdriver tip fits snugly into the screw head to avoid stripping the screw.

Consider the application: Use precision screwdrivers for delicate work, insulated screwdrivers for electrical tasks, and standard screwdrivers for general use.
