Which screwdriver is described as cross slots having square corners and sharp points?

• A. Cross point Phillips
• B. Flat tip screwdriver
• C. High torque tip
• D. Hex wrench

Answer: (A)

Cross slots describe a cross-shaped drive used on Phillips screws. When a description mentions cross slots with square corners and sharp points, it points to the cross-point Phillips style, whose tip is designed to fit into that cruciform recess and engage at the corners to transfer torque. This type is distinguished from a flat tip, which fits only straight-slotted screws, and from hex wrenches, which fit hexagonal sockets. The term high torque tip does not describe a cross recess the way Phillips does. So the described screwdriver is the cross-point Phillips.
