I would say that {kucylupcartci} is a lujvo that I, knowing that there
is an important distinction between phillips and flathead
screwdrivers, might interpret correctly. If I wanted to say it, I'd
probably go with a tanru: {kruca lupcartci} or {me la .filips.
lupcartci}

In fact, if {lupcartci} weren't already defined to be screwdriver, I
might argue for {luptci}, since turning is inherent in the screw.
