Answers: Which screwdriver tip is best for electrical work?

• electrical screwdrivers
• screw drive types
• slotted screwdriver
• Phillips screwdriver
• Robertson square drive
• ECX combination tips
• insulated tools

What it concludes

• Slotted screwdrivers are prone to slipping and have limited torque compared to modern options.
• Phillips screwdriver wings wear down over time, causing a loss of leverage and torque.
• Robertson square drive offers the best fit into screw pockets and provides superior grip and torque with minimal slip.
• ECX combination tips bottom out on the slotted wings of the screw head, reducing effectiveness.
• Bosch P2R2 bits combine Phillips #2 and Robertson #2 in one bit, but compromise on grip.
• The Robertson square drive screwdriver is the overall winner and best tool for electrical work due to its grip, torque, and 90-degree alignment.
