Well, a lever is a machine consisting of a bar that is free to move around a fixed point, changing the amount of force that must be exerted to move an object. A screwdriver has a handle, and attached to that is a bar, with a sharp tip that fixes onto a screw. It can be considered a lever since you can move the screwdriver around the fixed point, eg, the handle and nail, and can move an object, eg the nail.

A lever works on the principle of using torque. A screw driver is used as a lever because the relatively broader handle produces much more torque for the same force as compared to the narrower blade of the screw driver.
