When fastening a screw, positioning the screwdriver correctly is essential for efficient and secure application. The screwdriver should be pushed as it is turned. This method allows for better engagement with the screw head, as the pressure helps to ensure that the screwdriver tip remains firmly in the slot of the screw. As you turn the screwdriver, the forward pressure prevents slippage, which can cause damage to the screw head or even lead to stripping the screw, making it difficult to remove or tighten properly.

By pushing while turning, the user also increases the torque applied to the screw, allowing it to be driven deeper into the material being fastened, which can enhance the holding power of the screw. This technique minimizes the risk of the screwdriver slipping out and promotes a more controlled and reliable fastening process.
