Difficulty: EasyScrewdrivers

Match each screwdriver type to its corresponding tip profile or specific shop design characteristic.

  • Slotted screwdriverA flat, straight blade designed to seat into a single linear slot across the fastener head
  • Robertson screwdriverA four-sided square tip designed to fit snug into square-recess fasteners
  • Clutch-head screwdriverAn hourglass- or bowtie-shaped tip profile commonly used on specialty automotive fasteners
  • Stubby screwdriverA very short shank and compact handle designed for inline turning in confined spaces with low vertical clearance

Answer

Slotted matches the flat, straight blade for single linear slots; Robertson matches the four-sided square tip; Clutch-head matches the hourglass- or bowtie-shaped tip profile; Stubby matches the very short shank and compact handle for low vertical clearance.
Each screwdriver is correctly matched based on its standardized drive geometry and physical profile: slotted tools drive linear-slot heads, Robertson tools drive square recesses, clutch-head tools drive hourglass recesses, and stubby screwdrivers provide straight axial access in limited-clearance locations.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the profile of the slotted screwdriver.
Matched with the flat, straight blade.
Slotted fasteners have a single straight groove that requires a flat-blade tool.
2
Identify the profile of the Robertson screwdriver.
Matched with the four-sided square tip.
Robertson drive fasteners have a square recess.
3
Identify the profile of the clutch-head screwdriver.
Matched with the hourglass or bowtie shape.
Clutch-head screws use an hourglass-shaped recess to resist cam-out and provide tamper resistance.
4
Identify the functional configuration of the stubby screwdriver.
Matched with the compact handle and short shank.
Stubby tools maintain a direct inline axis while drastically reducing overall tool length for restricted clearance areas.
