What are the three main types of screwdriver?
The three main types of screwdriver are flat head, Phillips, and Pozidriv. Each is designed to fit a different screw type, and using the right one not only makes the job easier but also prevents damage to the screw head. Flat head screwdrivers have a single straight blade and are ideal for slotted screws, often used in older fixtures or decorative fittings. Phillips screwdrivers have a cross-shaped tip and are a common choice for everything from furniture assembly to electrical work. Pozidriv looks similar to Phillips but features additional contact points for better grip and torque—perfect for tougher jobs where a standard Phillips might slip. At Rinkit, we stock a practical selection of all three, designed for comfort, strength, and everyday reliability.
Why does the right screwdriver matter?
Using the wrong screwdriver is like trying to stir soup with a fork—it just doesn't work well and often makes things worse. Rounded screw heads, stripped threads, or even damaged materials are usually the result of mismatched tools. That’s why it pays to have the right type and size of screwdriver ready to go. Rinkit’s screwdrivers are built with strong tips, comfortable grips, and sturdy shafts that give you control whether you're loosening a rusted hinge or tightening a cabinet door. They’re designed to make common household tasks less fiddly and more efficient. Once you’ve got a proper set in the drawer or toolbox, those little repair jobs don’t feel like such a chore anymore.
Are screwdrivers still useful if I already own a drill?
Absolutely. While a drill might speed up big jobs, screwdrivers are still the first thing you’ll reach for when precision, control, or a quieter fix is needed. They're great for small adjustments, assembling furniture without over-tightening, or working in spaces where a bulky power tool just won’t fit. Rinkit’s range includes single screwdrivers and handy sets that cover all the basics, so you’re always prepared. It’s one of those tools that’s easy to take for granted—until you’re halfway through a job and realise nothing else will do. With the right screwdriver to hand, even a wobbly chair or loose door handle feels like a five-minute fix instead of a weekend task.
