The Essential Turning Tool
A screwdriver is one of the most essential tools in home renovation and everyday fixes. It is designed with a handle for grip and a long shaft that ends in a tip shaped to fit the head of a screw. The two most common types are flathead, which fits straight slotted screws, and Phillips, which has a cross-shaped tip.
Using a screwdriver is simple. Place the tip firmly into the screw head, hold the handle steady, and twist clockwise to tighten or counterclockwise to loosen. For better control, apply even pressure while turning so the tool does not slip and strip the screw. Screwdrivers come in many sizes, so matching the right one to the screw makes the task easier and safer. Whether you are assembling furniture, fixing a cabinet, or installing fixtures, a screwdriver is a reliable companion in every toolkit.
