Which term best matches the screwdriver designed for cross-slot screws?

• A. Cross point Phillips
• B. Flat tip screwdriver
• C. High torque tip
• D. Hex wrench

Answer: (A)

Cross-slot screws use a plus-shaped recess, and the tool designed to fit that shape is the Phillips screwdriver. The name cross point Phillips identifies both the cross-shaped head and the specific tip that self-centers and fits snugly into the recess. The other options describe different screw heads—flat-tip for flat-head screws, hex wrench for hex sockets, and a nonstandard term. So the best match for cross-slot screws is cross point Phillips.
