Abstract
A screw holder and torquing tool having a one-piece body with a cavity for receiving a screw in a sturdy and stable condition. The screw can be applied in stabilizing bone, and the tool can apply sufficient torque though it is of a relatively small overall size. Tangs or fingers are flexible on the tool and they flex toward and away from the cavity and they hold the screw in the tool until the screw is embedded into bone or other host object.
