This is a Phillip's Head Screwdriver:

Thanks, never heard that name before. In my mother tongue it goes by the simple name of 'Kreuzschlitzschraubendreher' and that is no joke.

Hehehe, German's have the best name for things. Amazing

They take existing words and slap them together to make new ones. For example, a turtle is a shield toad and gloves are hand shoes.

and that name actually makes sense, like EVERYTHING in Deutsch! because it is a 'Cross Slotted Screwdriver'.. in ~~English~~ American, we venerate Mr. Phillips every single day, amen.. whoever he was..

I recently learned of the existence of Frearson; like the Philips but without the slightly rounded inside corners.

Sometimes it itches, but it's manageable.
