Engine General (Supplementary) USCG Question #209 (Set 4)

Which of the screwdriver tips listed will fit screws with a four way or cross type slot?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — Both B and C are correct

Both Phillips and Reed and Prince screwdrivers are designed for cross-slot screws. While their tip angles differ slightly, both are functionally categorized as cross-type drivers. Using the correct driver prevents cam-out and damage to the screw head, which is vital for maintaining equipment accessibility during routine maintenance.
