A screwdriver is one of the most frequently used tools for everything from quick repairs to complex home improvement projects. Whether you're putting together your first collection of tools, need a specialty screwdriver for a particular job or wish to buy a multibit screwdriver capable of performing a variety of tasks, Ace Hardware has top-rated products to suit your needs and get the job done.

Explore Essential Screwdriver Types for Your Toolbox

When creating your first toolbox, stock it with various screwdriver types to ensure you have the right tool on hand for any job that pops up. Some of the most common types of screwdrivers include:

  • Phillips screwdriver: The tip of a Phillips screwdriver features a dull point and four ribs that fit into cross-shaped slots on screws.
  • Flathead screwdriver: The paddle-shaped tip on a flathead screwdriver matches screws with a single-slotted head.
  • Robertson screwdriver: These screwdrivers have a square tip that fits a matching square-shaped slot.
  • Hex screwdriver: The tip on hex screwdrivers looks like a hexagon with six equal sides, used with screws that have hexagonal slots.
  • Torx screwdriver: A Torx screwdriver features a star-shaped tip with six points that insert into a matching star slot.

Most people benefit from having both a flathead and a Phillips screwdriver in their toolbox. A hex screwdriver may come in handy for woodworking projects or furniture assembly. Torx screwdrivers and screws are most often used for tamper-resistant fastening.

Complete Multiple Tasks with a Multi-Bit Screwdriver

Are you looking to stock your toolbox with everything you need to complete DIY projects successfully? Consider choosing a multi-bit screwdriver instead of individual hand tools. With a multi-bit screwdriver, you’ll have a multi-purpose tool consisting of a shaft, handle, and interchangeable bits. Most sets come with an assortment of screwdriver head types, and some also include other bits that let you use them as nut drivers.

As you compare multi-bit screwdriver tools, keep ease of use in mind. A ratcheting multi-bit screwdriver can save you time and wrist strain for big jobs. This type of tool turns freely in one direction and drives or loosens in the other with an action similar to that of a ratchet. Its unique design means you don't have to position your screwdriver every time you turn it.

Stock Up on the Basics with a Screwdriver Set

Another way to ensure you have the right tools on hand for various projects is to invest in a screwdriver set. Like socket sets, screwdriver sets include two or more screwdrivers in varying types and sizes. In addition to simplifying shopping, screwdriver sets often save you money, as their prices tend to be more cost-effective than buying each tool individually.
