Answers: What type of screwdriver should I use for wiring outlets and switches?

• screwdrivers for electrical wiring
• Phillips screwdrivers
• slotted screwdrivers
• Robertson screwdrivers
• hybrid ECX screwdrivers

What it concludes

• Phillips and slotted screwdrivers are not the best tools for wiring outlets and switches because they can slip or fail to maintain torque.
• A number 1 Robertson or square drive screwdriver fits outlet terminals and mounting screws well but lacks the multi-bit design of a hybrid.
• The Milwaukee ECX number 1 screwdriver combines square drive and slotted tips, making it the best hybrid tool for wiring outlets and switches.
