definition: A screwdriver is a tool for turning a screw. A screw is a metal object used for holding things together. A screwdriver has a handle attached to a piece of metal. The end of the metal piece fits into the top of the screw. Pressing down on the screw while turning the screwdriver pushes the screw into something hard, like a wall or piece of wood, or gets it out from what it was in before.
You have to remove some screws to take the shelf down, so you'll need a screwdriver.
