user puts into the screw head before turning the handle. The shaft is usually made of tough
steel to resist bending or twisting.

A stubby screwdriver is a tool used to facilitate access to screws located in areas that cannot be reach
easily by a regular screwdriver. Sometimes, screw exist in places that are not wide open and may have
something blocking access to them from the opposite side. With a stubby screwdriver, it is possible to
reach screws that are obstructed in some way because they are shorter than most screwdrivers.
