"Our next discussion is going to be on screwdrivers, there are so many again as the time goes on with the variety of screwdrivers. The difference between the two. The first type which is originally called a slotted screwdriver which is commonly known to us as a straight screwdriver. The straight screwdriver here comes with a magnetic tip, some do and some doesn't. The other ones are grounded for electrical purposes. Any time that you do electrical work, you will want to utilize electrical screwdrivers for that object so that you do not create a shock or current through to yourself. Our other screwdriver that was designed by Henry Phillips back in 1939 is a Phillips screwdriver. This Phillips screwdriver is designed to be able to apply more torque to the screw that you are putting in. Some Phillips screwdrivers are most commonly used for sheet rocking, longer screws. The newer screws that are coming out are square heads and those type of attachments and what not you would be using on your screw guns when we get into that segment we'll be following those there a little more closely. These here are two items that you would want to have in your pouch at all times because they have a variety of different uses."
