The Hardened Screwdriver is a basic tool. It is a variant of the Screwdriver and repairs 25% faster than the screwdriver.

Function

The hardened screwdriver's primary function is to perform electrical repairs on certain installations, namely Nuclear Reactors, Junction Boxes, Navigation Terminals, Sonar Monitors, Status Monitors, Batteries and Supercapacitors.

It can also be used on Connection Panels of any installation or electrical component to rewire them.

Lastly, it can be swung at enemies for a weak melee attack. It has slightly higher damage than the basic screwdriver, as well as 25% armor penetration and a light Radiation Sickness effect.

Usage

Hardened Screwdrivers are held with one hand. Left-clicking on an installation or electrical component with the tool equipped will open up its connection panel menu. Rewiring while below the required Electrical Engineering skill presents a risk of failure, which interrupts the rewiring and inflicts Burns and Stun. Pressing on an installation in needs of repairs will start fixing it.
