Potential problem I see here is, what defines as a "common" screwdriver? Cause the most common screwdrivers are MUCH bigger than what phones use. So, can be bought at stores? You can buy torx screws at iFixit, but probably not at local electronics stores, so does that count?
What I mean to say is that, the line has to be drawn somewhere, especially if it's going to be written in law. Having consumers buy a specialized screen heating machine is too much, but you can't expect large screws to be on phones, so it has to be somewhere in the middle and clearly defined.
My idea is that maybe it's better to start with what types of screws. Or if they're specialized, they have to include it in the box or disclose the specs.
Common screwdriver is a Phillips or flat head. It's already defined in relation to this legislation.
