Does anyone here own a phillips screwdriver?

[olcop]

Yes, I have several dozen, if not a hundred or more, but none of them fit the screw I need to install.
Similar problem with 1/2 in wrenches, when I'm looking for a 9/16 in, 1/2in is all I can find---when I need a 1/2" they have all gone to hide with the correct Phillips head screwdrivers

Oh yes I have a bunch of them in all sizes, shapes and forms. Funny too how many different sorts of drivers there are for screws. I used to repair commercial microwave ovens and you wouldn't believe the number of different drivers they have come out with over the years for them to keep people from having easy access to their internal workings.
But for phillips drivers I like the machined bits that give a better bite on the screw heads. Those and properly cut screwdrivers are the best.

 

[PatAz]

I have quite a few of them

Since Caj is a lawyer I think this is a trick question.

I have several screwdrivers marked Phillips. They are in the Phillips design, but manufactured by different companies.
(Presumably the manufactures took care of proper licensing to use the trademark.

I do not, and do not remember ever seeing, a screwdriver marked as being manufactured by a Phillips company.

You can always tell a good thread. It grows its own legs and takes off into heights never imagined.

Phillips was a screw driver come lately.

Here is the real deal :

Robertson Screw
In 1908, square-drive screws were invented by Canadian P. L. Robertson. Twenty-eight years before Henry Phillips patented his Phillips head screws, which are also square-drive screws. The Robertson screw is considered the "first recess-drive type fastener practical for production usage."

Keeping it real.

If you have no Philips you can grind off a R&P.

I own lots of Phillips screwdrivers Also the Phillips screwdriver was invented by a Man named Henry J Phillips in 1934

 

[walkin jack]

I find it kind of weird that this would come up. I have bought many sets of Phillips head screwdrivers. Yet I can never find one when I want it. I have some slot head screwdrivers as well but they are the same old ones I have always had. I can safely say that I still own every single slot head screwdriver that I've ever had. Yet I wouldn't bet on my ability to go out in the garage or in my "fortress of solitude" or in the junk drawer in the kitchen or in my truck or ANY-dang-where and find a Phillips head screwdriver.

This has been my curse for decades and it is pretty doggone weird!! I used to get a set for Christmas every year from my wife or my son or my daughter or my grand kids when they came along but everyone has given up. They got tired I suppose of buying me things I'd must lose in a short while.

I know it's not the worst problem a guy could have but I just can't figure it out. Maybe it's time to put up some a them surveillance cameras but I don't guess I will. Probably cheaper to just go ahead and keep getting new screwdrivers.

But now it you wanna talk about Allen wrenches I got beau coup of them little beauties.

 

[justcruisen67]

I've often thought of trying to get me some of these. I wasn't sure what the purchase requirements are? and if there were any restrictions as to when you can purchase them, and age limit issues? Oh and any limits to how many you can own? Oh and how many points are you legally allowed to have on them? Is there a restrictions on the length? can you carry them concealed or do you have to go through training and obtain a permit? These are some of the nagging questions that have kept me up at night and stalled my purchase of this unique item.

Is this a trick question?

has to be a trick or sarcastic questionI've got so many I'd hate to take inventory

 

[medxam]

I am glad that fishslayer told us just what kind of diaphragm he was going to use a screw driver on!

I have Phillips for most things.

I however prefer to use Reed and Prince or Bristol drive screws for stuff that's important, and needs to look neat.

 

[Stevens]

Bunches of them. When I need to remove a slotted screw for whatever reason it is replaced with a phillips head screw. Same for machine screws.
A drill with a phillips bit stays centered in a phillips screw, try it with the slotted variety
