A screwdriver should never be used as a __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Hand tool safety and why tools are designed for specific purposes • What can happen to a screwdriver tip and handle under sideways or impact loads • Common OSHA/shipboard rules about using the right tool for the job

💭 Think About

• For each option, imagine what kind of force is applied to the screwdriver (twisting, side loading, impact) and whether it was designed for that • Think about which misuses are commonly warned about on safety posters or in tool-box safety talks • Ask yourself: which of these uses could cause the tool to slip, chip, or shatter and injure hands, eyes, or nearby crew?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which options involve impact on the end or side of the screwdriver instead of simple turning force • Check which uses would bend or chip the blade or shaft instead of keeping it in line with the screw slot • Before choosing, ask whether safety training usually forbids only one of these misuses or all of them
