Because it holds the screw straight while you insert it. There is also a 'split blade' screwdriver for this purpose.

Why is it that a magnetised screwdriver can help to place screws in holes that are hard to reach?

The screw will stick to the screwdriver. There is also a tool known as a screw set, it claps on the top of the screw. These have more control of the screw. And you odds of losing the screw are less.

How do you replace a rear brake light in a 95 Tahoe?

Open tailgate(s). Look for two plastic caps that cover the screws holding the tail light assm in place. Pry out plastic caps with a flat blade screwdriver and remove the screws you see inside, I think they are Phillips. Remove assm from car, disconnect wiring by turning and pulling. Replace lamps, reassemble in reverse being careful NOT to drop the screws into the taillight assm. Best to tape screws to screwdriver while reassembling to keep screws in place.


How to Replace 1989 gmc front speakers?

Use a dull flat head screwdriver and carefully pry the side closest to you up (farthest away from windshield)enough to see the metal clips going down into the dash, position the screwdriver as close as possible to these metal clips to avoid breaking the plastic that holds these clips on. once you have the metal clips clear then slide the cover away from the windshield, you will see the two slide in clips that hold the front in. To put the covers back on slide the two front clips (closest to windshield) into the holes, then line up the metal clips with their holes and snap them into place gently. To remove the speakers use a stubby Phillips head screwdriver to take out the four screws that hold the speaker down, be sure not to place them on the dash since they will fall into the windshield defroster holes very easily. After the screws are out just pry out the speaker. Installation is the reverse of removal.
