<div> If a thumb screw is made so it can be, "...turned by the thumb...," then what appendage are we to use to turn a wing screw? <br>

I'll go for thumb screw -- it has far longer currency and is defined
in Webster's Dictionary as "a screw whose head is flattened at the
side or knurled so that the screw may be turned by the thumb and
forefinger". <br>
<br>
Thank you, everybody, for the naming. <br>
