Screwdrivers

[Love Hartman]

I am curious about the different words used when asking for a specific
screwdriver. I heard that originally a person would either ask for a
phillips or a standard or a flat. I heard someone refer to the two different
types of screwdrivers as a "plus or minus".  How did the plus and minus get
started?
