Flathead Screwdrivers

To efficiently drive flathead screws, use a flathead screwdriver also known as a slotted screwdriver.

A flathead screwdriver, or flathead screwdriver as it’s otherwise known, is one of those tools that is just useful to have around the home. As the name suggests, these screwdrivers are designed to fit flathead screws. Much like their crosshead counterpart, you’ll find this type of screw everywhere around the home, so having a screwdriver specially designed to fit them is extremely useful.

When putting together flatpack furniture or other construction and woodworking projects, using the right screwdriver for the right type of screw is paramount. This is because in order to apply the correct amount of pressure and torque to the screw, you need a screwdriver that matches the screw head, otherwise, you could chance threading of the head and unnecessary wear and splitting to the material you are driving the screws into.
