History Lesson: Phillips Head Screwdrivers


Listen Later

Mercury loves her history lessons! Learn about the history of the Phillips Head screwdriver, like who invented it (not who you think), why it was great for automobile assembly lines, and how it became the most popular screw in the world! She also answers questions about hanging LED lights without damaging walls, and removing paint after a landlord special. Be careful not to let your bits slip out, this is a wild one!
