What happens here

Locate a Phillips head screw that has been stripped, meaning its head recess is damaged and a standard screwdriver cannot grip it. Place the tip of the Snappy Driver onto the stripped screw head. Using a hammer, firmly strike the back of the Snappy Driver multiple times. This action drives the specialized tip of the Snappy Driver into the damaged screw head, reforming and creating new gripping points within the stripped recess. Once reformed, the Snappy Driver can then be used to unscrew and remove the stripped fastener.

Goal: Successfully remove a stripped Phillips head screw by reforming its head.
