How are screwdriver Sizes determined?

Check out screwdriver sets on Amazon. Phillips head screwdrivers come in sizes indicated by numbers rather than measurements, such as is the case with regular or flathead screwdrivers. Screws, too, are designated according to number, from 0 to 24.

What size is a screwdriver bit?

Most screwdriver bits have a shank diameter of ¼ inch (6.35mm). This means they can be used in tools with a ¼ inch chuck size.
