A flat blade screwdriver, also known as a flathead screwdriver, is used to drive screws with a straight, horizontal slot in their heads. Its design allows for easy engagement and removal of screws, making it versatile for various tasks, such as assembling furniture, fixing appliances, or performing general repairs. Additionally, it can be used for prying open objects or scraping surfaces, though these secondary uses may not be its primary function.
