    The Japanese says “plus driver”, which is a better name than “phillips head screwdriver” imo.

      Japan typically uses JIS over Phillips though, right?

              It is said, “There’s always an xkcd.” But in fact, there are always multiple xkcds. :)

          Yeah flat-bottomed polygons are the best. The ONLY exception is flatheads, which should only ever be used on surfaces prone to repainting, because you can scrape paint out pretty easily.

      Hell, we call it something like “star head screwdriver” and still everyone knows what it means (no, don’t bring up more than 4 apexes (apices)). Imagine moving to a random country and they recommend you to buy an Intel layout keyboard or a Sony audio socket.

        Sorry, I’m gonna. Where I live if people call something star head they’re talking about Torx.

          Fair enough, that could also be seen as a star. By “everyone knows what it means” I meant people in my country - I didn’t try to suggest everyone else would, as well. But either way, star head still narrows it down less poorly than Philips does (to people who don’t immediately know).
