what kind of tool is this?
can any one tell me what kind of tool this is and where I might get one?
My husband describes it as a screwdriver with a "claw" on the tip that opens and holds your screw until you get it screwed in. I have looked everywhere and can't find it.
He used to use one when he worked at Lockheed.
Thanks! Laura

The best ones I've ever seen are from "Witte", in the USA they come from Anglo American Enterprises in (?Somerdale?) New Jersey. IIRC all Graybar Electric distributing and Grainger have access to them. They are a bit different in that the have a positive locking sleeve that wraps around the entire head of the screw.

I had one once a long time ago and for some reason I didn't like it. One trick is to tape the screw to the screwdriver blade with masking tape. This should hold it until the screw is started.
