It's amazing, isn't it?
It's a great tip for troubleshooting when you don't have a screwdriver handy.
In addition, you are sure to have a screwdriver that is perfectly adapted to the screw.
And it's very economical!
As it is only plastic, trying to unscrew the end may break.
In this case, repeat the operation by melting the pen again.
The advantage is that you have quite a length of plastic to overcome a stubborn screw.
