      Bernerd Fulanda answered on 5 Jul 2017:


      Torque is in units of force F x distance D
      The D is not distance along the axis of rotation (the screwdriver shaft) but instead distance away from the axis; hence the reason screwdrivers have handles; the bigger the handle, the more torque to the shaft is provided by a given force
