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 ...
One down, forty-nine to go.
