[![ドライバー\(キリ型\)で底をキレイにするわ](https://i.stack.imgur.com/DScMt.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/DScMt.jpg)

Saw this term in a manga and can’t find a good explanation of what it is. The
text says

> ドライバー(キリ型)で底をキレイにするわ

(底 refers to the sole of a shoe)

However, the image seems to resemble more an awl than screwdriver. I could
find some mentions that キリ can mean “cross” (from Portuguese “cruz”), however
プラス seems to be a far more common term for a Philips screwdriver, so that’s
probably not it.

In desperation I turned to Google Translate and it offered me “drill type
screwdriver”, but while I don’t know what exactly is that, it doesn’t seem to
match the picture either. So, what exactly is キリ型?

**EDIT** To add to the fun, on the next page the “screwdriver” gets stuck in a
shoe when dropped, so is it an awl after all? It seems that “awl” can be
translated as 突きぎり, is this ぎりrelated?
