A power screwdriver is a machine tool that is powered by batteries and can be dangerous if not used properly. It is safer than a manual screwdriver for tasks requiring many screws but risks electrocution if it slips while in use. Personal protective equipment like gloves should always be worn when operating a power screwdriver to prevent injury and the battery must be checked and charged properly between uses.
