If you don't know, those old ubiquitous like phenolic Craftsman drivers that always seem to tear your hand up when you really lean into them...that handles made for a box end to slide over it for mechanical advantage. If you'd rather a ratchet, that's entirely a personal decision and just as possible.
This would have been exactly what I needed a few weeks ago.
What I had was one of those giant pipe wrenches for disassembling those wall mounted commercial toilets, a little screwdriver kit with sockets, and determination.
I attached the giant wrench to the top of the screwdriver and removed the bolts from the coil packs on my parts car.
It was certainly overkill haha, but it worked.
Of course, if I’d quit leaving my tools everywhere all I needed was a socket and a ratchet.
I looked like a cartoon character, I’m sure of it.
In the meantime, you can use an impact screwdriver like this:
When you hit it with a hammer, the bit turns slightly, but with a lot of torque. Most of the force of the hammer still goes in the direction of the screw, so the bit doesn't cam out

It's good, but it's no knife-wrench!
Looks like it would be a perfect pry bar.
My guy naptowntuner on YouTube made a couple of these.

I need a Philips head screwdriver with that option. NEEEEEEEED it.
Is this cheating?

Ummm, I'm not sure if I dare ask how you plan to use this if that's your reaction.
Home repairs are foreplay if you only wear a tool belt.

This will shred small screws.
