Screwdrivers are actually quite fascinating.
Actually I think the torx and allen headed screws/screwdrivers are pretty cool. A flat blade screwdriver can be used as a prybar (within reason). It can be used as a chisel (e.g. if you're installing a doorknob assembly or a new lock ... or even installing a new blank door in a doorway).

A magnetized screwdriver can help you retrieve small metal objects that drop out of reach.

A very long one can be slipped into a shirtsleeve - gripped in reverse it can be used to break a window or car door with an elbow thrust.... if you're a thief of course.

Or it can be used as an improvised melee weapon icepick fashion.

You can never have too many screwdrivers ...
