The top one is a conventional Phillips head driver. Next is a device for use with Phillips head screws which will hold the screw on the tip of the tool until you get it started into its hole &#8211; after which you switch to the conventional driver. Bottom is a flat screwdriver with an external spring-loaded pair of tongs (these external tong devices are available for Phillips head screws as well).<\/p>\n<div class=\"mosimage\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Image\" src=\"\/images\/stories\/dashew\/screwdriver_1.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Image\" hspace=\"6\" width=\"398\" \/><\/div>\n<p>This is a close up of the Phillips head capturing tool.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mosimage\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Image\" src=\"\/images\/stories\/dashew\/screwdriver_2.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Image\" hspace=\"6\" width=\"360\" \/><\/div>\n<p>This is the external prong type capturing device.
