I was recently given a tool list by my new employer. On it, it says plate driver and I dont what this is. I tried googling it, but I could not find anything.

Does anyone know what it is ?

If it's not a WWF wrestling move, I suspect also that it's any small screwdriver suitable for cover plates. Some guys favor those wiggly spinny screwdrivers, but I never got the hang of those things.

The wiggly driver is pound for pound one of the very best tools. I actually find it easier to drive slotted screws with a wiggly than with a cordless driver. It's light, no battery to worry about, and if you're one of these fanatics that gives a damn about vertical or slotted you can hit that perfect position much easier than you can with a cordless.

Some say fanatics...some may say 'perfectionist'!

Some might even say 'OCD cowboy!
