Screwdrivers are not actually pry bars.
Says you. I have a set of old, cheap screwdrivers specifically for use as tiny prybars.
A screwdriver and a hammer together make a great tiny wedge.
And you can use a flathead on Phillips heads, if you have enough gumption.
Multi-tools psh. The flathead is a multitool.
You'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands!
โYour offer is accepted!โ
Blasphemy!
But combined with a torch, they make quick and dirty soldering irons.
Well, big flathead screwdrivers aren't for screwing things in. Small ones have a place for decorative screws, like on light switch covers, but big flathead screws should never be used.
So big flathead screwdrivers are better as pry bars than as screwdrivers.
