Cheap screwdrivers packaged with self assembly furniture
What is the "official" name for these and where might I be able to buy more?
Apologies if this is off topic, but figured the people here would know what I am talking about.
Let me clarify. I know its a Philips screwdriver. I am more focused on the cheapness. It is borderline disposable. Can these be purchased in bulk somewhere?

Answer:
Unfortunately - there's probably no standard name for it, and chinese manufacturers tend to keyword stuff. I did find a supplier on alibaba that'd sell you as many as you want for 5 cents and shipping and they call it a takes a deep breath "Crosshead screwdriver wrench furniture hardware tool parts simple triangle cross spanner".
That said, you can often find what something is using google lens - I uploaded a photo of the question with the wrench, ignored google bringing up the same question and that brought up some options.
While it needs some digging, I'm a fan of teaching people to fish, and it might be useful for future users, or tool searches if you know what you want, and not what its called.
