The conceptual 'Right Angle Screwdriver' has been created as a handy tool for makers and DIYers alike that will enable them to perform small repairs without the need for a full-sized alternative. Featuring a joint just below the screwdriver tip, the device can be bent 90-degrees to allow users to access screws in tight spaces. This could eliminate the need to visit a professional for repairs and addresses the increased number of consumers seeking to perform DIY fixes from the comfort of their own home or office.
