What type of screwdriver is especially designed for turning screws that are inaccessible to a longer screwdriver?

The stubby screwdriver is specifically designed for accessing screws that are in tight or limited spaces where a standard screwdriver would be too long to reach effectively. Its shorter handle and blade allow for better maneuverability in areas where there is little room to work, thus making it an ideal tool for tasks where space constraints exist. The compact size of the stubby screwdriver makes it particularly useful in automotive work, electrical panels, and other scenarios where depth and reach are limited.

In contrast, the other types of screwdrivers have different specific uses: a flat head screwdriver is generally for slotted screws, a torque screwdriver is designed for applying a specific amount of torque to avoid overtightening, and a precision screwdriver typically has a smaller head for very delicate work or small screws. None of these alternative tools share the same primary advantage of accessibility that the stubby screwdriver provides.
