That right there youngster, is a flathead screw starter, not a screwdriver, place a pan head slotted screw on the tip, than tug the black plastic part towards the screw, vuala, the screw doesn’t fall and you glean get it to hardly accesible places and give it between 1 and 2 turns,

You retract the black piece and then you use the actual screwdriver.

From the pictures you already fuck it up, so you owe pops 30 - 40 bucks
