Abstract: A screwholder adapted to be mounted over a screwdriver shank that includes an outwardly flared blade section adjacent a screwdriver tip is disclosed. The screwholder includes a hollow extension tube that mounts over the screwdriver shank. One end of the hollow extension tube has an enlarged section for engagement and displacement along the screwdriver shank by the thumb of a user. The other end of the hollow extension tube includes screw gripping fingers for gripping a screw. The screw gripping fingers extend upwardly from the hollow extension tube and are captured between an inner retaining plate and an outer housing. The screw gripping fingers further have outer free ends for gripping opposed areas of a screw. A compressible spring is positioned within the outer housing between the inner retaining plate and the hollow extension tube.
