Sonic Screwdriver

"Give me a sonic screwdriver, a bottle of old janx spirit, and a decent astromech droid and I can wreck a star destroyer without getting behind the wheel."

- Garrett G. Granth the IV

The Sonic Screwdriver, a device commonly used by rogue mechanics and technically-minded savants, is a difficult bit of technology to operate. Basically, it uses focused sonic waves to remotely manipulate the innards of machinery. Pre-programmed routines can allow it to pick locks or reconfigure common mechanical items in set ways, however, many enthusiasts of the tool are fond of "free style use," that is, simply moving the focusing lenses manually and pointing the device as a normal tool.

It can be used as a makeshift weapon, though not an effective one, as the sonic focuses are very weak fields, capable of, at most, creating discomfort. It can also emit high-pitched ultrasonic waves that can remotely interface with appropriate machinery.

One famous user of the sonic screwdriver is Garrett G. Granth the IV. He has used these devices for as much construction as he has destruction.
