How often do you use your large screwdrivers for turning screws?

Say #3 or #4 phillips and 3/8, how often do you use them as screwdrivers?

I think I've used one of my 4 different #3 drivers a couple times but needless to say I don't  have / necer needed a #4, the 3/8 I definitely use occasionally but not that often.

Very rarely. It fits the dash nuts on the old Ford tractor.

I basically just use a 3/8 for the depth adjustment lock screw on my old Craftsman routerrouter, and sadly both of mine are really long so it's annoying.
I may have to get a hex screw or something to replace it with, either that or make a custom driver for it but that makes less sense.

Never used a #4 phillips, have used a number 3 several times, as equipment needed it.
3/8 flat head, a lot more often then the phillips as I have dealt with a lot of old furniture that needs the large flat blade screwdrivers. (and have square nuts)

I use a large flat blade weekly to remove e clips. The number 4 phillips comes in handy sometimes on plastic plugs but most have now transfered to hex drive

#3 several times a year, #4, don't know if ever
Big flat blade now and again for turning screws and more often prying

i use number 3 on occasion. surprisingly i use the larger flat blades on occasion as well.

there is a number 4 in my chapman kit........if i ever need it.

Chapman makes a #4 ?
I guess since I basically only use the #2 for philips in my kit I never looked into their othe philips offerings.
I may have used the #1 a few times, but generally for me #1 screws are down a hole where the Chapman doesn't fit.

The 3/8 in my Chapman kit I definitely use quite a bit actually.

Thanks.
I don't need them because my Chapman kit is used for gun / airgun and fishing reel work, but it's good to know they make them if I ever do.

I use the bigger Phillips quite a bit for dash panels. LP Injector hold down screws on Nissan engs take a #3 Phillips as well

not often, but a #3 phillips is great for testing mortise locks - fits perfectly where a knob/lever spindle normally goes
