It's all about torque.
Basically, the further away from the pivot you apply the force, the less force you need to apply.
Since the screwdriver means you can apply a force further away from the pivot (where you put the head of the screwdriver underneath the lid of the paint can), it means you can apply less force.

Which would be the better choice for driving a screw into a board a long screwdriver with a narrow handle or a short screwdriver with a wide handle?
Long screw driver with a narrow handle would give the most torque, therefor it would be best It would also depend on the blade of the screw driver. The blade should fit well into the slot in the screw so if the long screw driver with the narrow handle had a small narrow blade that was too small for the screw then another one would be better.
