>FYI, Phillips screwdrivers are often referred to as "star" in my experience by average people. FYI, that's wrong. The proper generic term for Phillips, Frearson, Posidrive, and similar is cruciform or cross drive, not star. >Best to just use the proper terms. "Star drive" is the proper generic term inclusive of the trademarked Torx, its security Torx version, and similar 6-sided drivers. Just as Robertson is a tradename for a type of square drive. A quick search seems to only list Phillips as "star" drive for some Indian web sites. [0]The hexalobular socket screw drive, often referred to by the original proprietary brand name Torx or by the alternative generic name star drive, uses a star-shaped recess in the fastener with six rounded points.
