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.

Sorry this is too late for your needs, but I am browsing past questions today. AFAIK there is no such thing in mechanical engineering or elsewhere as a "cacciavite sagomato". This leads me to the conclusion that your people are proposing that the reader should prepare a standard screwdriver (probably by bending the blade to some extent) to perform the task. Of course, there are such things as "flexible screwdrivers" for reaching into tight spots, but if the text were referring to a sophisticated tool of this type I can't see how it could possibly be replaced by a mere "elbow fitting" (sounds like a totally makeshift solution!)
