Abstract
A tool for use with a fastener, more particularly, a medical screwdriver tool arranged to interact with a fastener has a driver body with a driver shaft, the driver shaft being associated with a tip configured for interaction with a fastener. The tool has an actuator arranged for reciprocal movement with respect to a longitudinal axis of the driver shaft between a first position proximal the tip and a second position distal the tip. The tip has first and second portions. The tool is configured for moving the first and second portions from a closed condition to an open condition upon movement of the actuator from the second position to the first position.
