What is the difference between a slotted and a Phillips?

Slotted and Phillips screwdrivers are the two most common types of drivers found in the majority of tool kits. Although they both ultimately allow the same task to be carried out, they feature different tips and are suited to different screws. A slotted screwdriver is ideal for use with a slotted screw head as the tip slots into the head with precision. However, care must be taken not to apply too much pressure on the drive as the tip can cam-out and scratch the material or cause injury.
