Question 187General Subjects - QMED
70% to passWhich of the screwdrivers listed has a tip surrounded by parallel fluted ridges resembling the ridges of a splined socket wrench?
AStandard
BReed and Prince
CPhillips
DTorx
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Torx. The Torx screwdriver has a tip surrounded by parallel fluted ridges resembling the ridges of a splined socket wrench. This unique design allows the Torx driver to engage the star-shaped Torx screws securely, providing more torque and reducing the risk of stripping the screw head. The other options are incorrect because: A) Standard screwdrivers have a flat, straight tip; B) Reed and Prince screwdrivers have a pointed, cross-shaped tip; and C) Phillips screwdrivers have a pointed, cross-shaped tip that is not surrounded by fluted ridges.
