    Abstract: A screw embedder attachment for a hand tool handle is disclosed. The invention allows for the addition of a screwdriver functionality to hand tool handles at the end of the tool handle opposite the working end of the tool. Since the invention is placed over the exterior of the tool handle, it allows for assembly and reassembly of the resulting apparatus without the need for disassembly and reassembly of the tool. The invention may be attached and detached from the tool in a minimal number of steps and without the need for special tools, such that where the invention is not needed for a particular job, but the tool is, the invention may be stowed for later use. The invention may be practiced by hand tool operators desiring to reduce the number of individual tools that need to be carried and exchanged for a particular job. This improves the efficiency of work operations and may reduce the number of related injuries and accidents.
