When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations
Philips screwdriver
Philips octagonal screwdriver
TORX screwdriver
'Philips screwdriver' has an x-shape tip, so it can be think of to have a square shape tip, based on the edge of the x shape. Indonesians used to call this kind of screwdriver as 'obeng kembang,' or 'flower screwdriver' which has no meaning in English.
TORX screwdriver has an eight edges tip, basically can be seen as resembling an octagon. This is what Indonesian technicians called as 'obeng Philips segi delapan.'

Sorry, it was Zein Isa\'s explanation I was intending to refer to rather than Kardi Kho\'s. All comments have added something, haven\'t they?.
