Captain Jack: "Who looks at a screwdriver and thinks, 'Oooh, this could be a little more sonic?'"
The Doctor: "What, you've never been bored? Never had a long night? Never had a lot of cabinets to put up?
The quote above comes from the Dr. Who episode "The Doctor Dances," and it neatly sums up the fun of the sonic screwdriver. It's not an item, it's a plot device that does anything and everything the story requires. It can hack a computer, open a door, and cure wounds. On one memorable occasion it repaired barbed wire. When I began watching the new seasons of Dr. Who with my son, it quickly became apparent that we had to have one for the house. After a bit of searching, we settled on this model, because it did cool things.
The real Sonic Screwdriver is immensely powerful. So how does the toy stack up?
