TM 9-243 TYPES AND USES - Continued CROSS-TIP SCREWDRIVERS The tip of a cross-tip screwdriver is shaped like a cross so that it fits into cross-tip screws. Cross-tip screws have two slots which cross at the center. These screwdrivers are made with four different sized tips. Cross-tip screw- drivers also have different length blades ranging from 1 inch to 8 inches. CROSS-POINT SCREWDRIVERS Cross-point screwdrivers are similar to the cross-tip. The cross-point slots meet at an exact right angle at their intersection. These screwdrivers are issued in 3 to 8-inch sizes. C L U T C H H E A D S C R E W D R I V E R S Clutch head screwdrivers are used to drive clutchbit screws. These screws have recessed heads and are commonly called butterfly or figure-eight screws. There are two styles of clutch heads, old style and new style. OFFSET SCREWDRIVERS Offset screwdrivers are used to drive or remove screws that cannot be lined up straight with common screwdriv- ers, or are located in tight corners. Some offset screw- drivers are made with two blades, one of a different size at each end. Others are ratchet-type offset, which are reversible for working in tight spots and allow the screw to be driven without having to remove the tip from the screw head. A double-tip offset screwdriver has four blades. 22-3
