One thing about the Phillips screw driver - perhaps it's Pozidriv[0] type, that's compatible with Phillips but different/better.

"Phillips" was originally designed to slip to prevent over-tighten. One more PH. screwdrivers come in various sizes (read the listed article for more). Using the correct one works significantly better for: flat/ph/pz, etc. For stuff like torx is not even possible to use incorrect screwdriver. Last screwdriver quality greatly varies, with some brands being exceptionally expensive or even pride material to own.
