I mean, the app is for screwing after all.

I’m trying to imagine the situation where a flathead screwdriver stops a broken sink
Those crappy shut-off valves with the plastic oval handle; the plastic gets brittle and shatters in your hand (especially if the valve is a bit stuck so you force it) and now you can’t turn the valve and your faucet has catastrophically failed so it’s urgent and the valve can still be operated with a flathead.
That said, all the ones I’ve seen use a Phillips screw to hold the handle on and there’s a flat section behind the handle you can put a wrench on to turn the valve, but maybe there’s some that need a flathead.
Those valves require some torque, the concept of having to use a flathead screwdriver to turn it gives me anxiety
In the UK, the pipes under the sink that lead to the tap have valves with a slot in to turn them on and off. I don’t know if it’s the same in other countries.
Here in Germany, I mainly know this setup with two knobs you can turn by hand:
Yeah, but a butter knife would turn one if those!
The fact you can’t is why your ______
It’s an app for people who want to screw
