Victorinox Phillips Screwdriver

A few Swiss Army knives include a long, narrow phillips head screwdriver. It locks in two different positions, so you can use it at the end of the knife (similar to a regular screwdriver), or at right angles (similar to an offset screwdriver).

You can use this tool to work on screws that would be inaccessible with the shorter, broader phillips screwdriver bit that is found on many other Swiss Army knives.

Other Phillips Screwdrivers

Many of the smaller Victorinox Swiss Army knives include a back-mounted phillips screwdriver instead of a corkscrew, or an end-mounted phillips screwdriver that is shorter and wider.

Many Swiss Army knives that don't have an "official" phillips head blade can still work on phillips head screws in emergency. Use the small slot-head screwdriver on the end of the can opener, and force it tightly into two of the phillips head slots. It's not nearly as effective as this tool, but it will frequently get the job done.

WARNING-- Be very careful, since it's easy to slice yourself with the sharp part of the can opener while you are using it to turn a phillips head screw. It's also easy to bend the tip if you torque too hard.

The CyberTools include a bit driver which has a phillips head bit.

Some of the smaller 2 1/4" (58 mm) Swiss Army knives include a decent small phillips head driver as part of the combination bottle opener tool.

Other Screwdrivers

Different Wenger Swiss Army knives include three different types of phillips screwdrivers-- a flat blade, a back-mounted screwdriver similar to this tool, and an end-mounted phillips screwdriver.

Leatherman tools include two different types of phillips screwdrivers-- a flat blade and a standard phillips screwdriver.
