The biceps brachii acts as a class 3 lever to flex the arm. The deltoid also acts as a class 3 lever to abduct the arm, as does the teres major in adducting the arm. The triceps brachii, however, acts as a class 1 lever to extend the arm. In other words, when you're bending your arm or swinging it toward your body or away from your body, it's a class 3 lever. But if your arm is bent and you're straightening it, then your arm is a class 1 lever.

Is a screwdriver a 2nd class lever?

Yes, a screwdriver is a 2nd class lever. In a second-class lever, the load is located between the fulcrum (pivot point) and the effort force. When using a screwdriver, the fulcrum is the point where the screwdriver rests against the object being turned, the load is the resistance of the screw being turned, and the effort comes from the force applied to the handle.
