In daily life and work, screwdrivers are often used. Do you know how many types of screwdrivers there are? Today, let’s take a look.
1. Ordinary screwdriver
It is a screwdriver made with the head and handle together, which is easy to prepare and can be used as long as it is taken out. However, due to the many different lengths and thicknesses of screws, sometimes it is necessary to prepare many different screwdrivers.
2. Combination screwdriver
A screwdriver that separates the screwdriver head and handle. When installing different types of screws, simply replace the screwdriver head and do not need to carry a large number of screwdrivers. The advantage is that it can save space, but it is easy to lose the screwdriver head.
3. Electric screwdriver
Electric screwdriver, as the name suggests, is a combination screwdriver that uses an electric motor instead of manual installation and removal of screws.
4. Clock driver
Belonging to precision screwdriver, it is commonly used for repairing hand strap watches, hence the name.
5. Little diamond screwdriver
The head handle and body length are smaller than commonly used screwdrivers, not clock drivers.
In terms of its structural shape, there are usually several types:
1. Straight. This is the most common type. The head models include straight, cross, beige, T-shaped (plum blossom), H-shaped (hexagonal), etc.
2. L-shaped. Commonly seen in hexagonal screwdrivers, they use their longer stem to increase torque, making them more labor-saving.
3. T-shaped. There are many applications in the automotive repair industry.
Screwdrivers can be divided into straight, cross, beige, star (computer), square, hexagonal, Y-shaped, and so on according to different head types. Among them, straight and cross are the most commonly used in our daily lives, and are used for installation, maintenance, and other purposes. It can be said that screwdrivers are used wherever there are screws.
Hexagonal heads are not commonly used, and internal hexagonal wrenches are commonly used. For example, many screws on some machines come with internal hexagonal holes, making it convenient to apply force from multiple angles. We don’t see many large star shaped ones, while small star shaped ones are commonly used for repairing mobile phones, hard drives, laptops, etc. We call small screwdrivers clock drivers, commonly used star shaped T6, T8, cross shaped PH0, PH00, etc.
