Looking for suggestion

A 'manual' screwdriver is typically much much lighter than a drill/driver with batteries.

I have not(yet) understood the mindset that thinks of drill/driver before an old timey screw driver.

They do have their place. I recently had my roof replaced with a metal roof. If they had to use manual screwdrivers it would have taken them several weeks.

However, I see people using powered drivers all the time for things that would never use a powered driver for. Screw-in plastic for example.

Not to beat this to death, but I like having the feedback when using a manual screwdriver.

I agree, especially when using screws that are easy to break or materials that are easy to strip.

How about one of these.

+1. With a manual screwdriver, you can feel materials go nonlinear, and stop before they actually fail.

My last comment on this. Both manual and powered screw drivers have their place. I use manual when I physically can and called for and powered when necessary or when physically unable to use manual.
