    Abstract: A system is provided with a screwdriver and a bone screw (30), wherein the screwdriver has a tool (4), which is provided with at least two radially and axially extending tool blades (5, 6, 7, 8), which can be caused to engage groove-like blade slots (36, 38) of the bone screw (30) in a positive-locking manner. To improve the handling of a bone screw (30) even in case of the smallest possible dimensions, provisions are made according to the present invention for the tool blades (5, 6, 7, 8) to form at least one elastic clamping section (20, 21, 22, 23), with which the tool (4) can be caused to clampingly engage the bone screw (30) in the area of the blade slots (36, 38).
