The sonic screwdriver is a fictional tool in the British sci-fi television series Doctor Who. Its most common function is to operate virtually any lock, mechanical or electronic, and thus open doors for escape or exploration. It has also been used for repairing equipment, as an offensive weapon, and occasionally even to drive screws. Like the TARDIS, it has become one of the icons of the program and is closely associated with the Doctor.

User Reviews for Doctor Who - Sonic Screwdriver
When you install the batteries it requires the use of a small phillips head screwdriver... So you need a regular screwdriver to make your Sonic Screwdriver work. (And while I was doing this, I actually was thinking to myself, \"Hmmm, this really could be more sonic!\")
I\'ve had this thing for about a year now, I use the regular pen nib quite often and it\'s currently not showing signs of running out of ink. The nib with the UV ink, unfortunately was lost.
That is the biggest issue I have with the item. The instruction pamphlet that comes with it says that you can order replacement nibs from customer service. You can not currently just order replacement nibs from Amazon, nor are they currently listed in the \"Spare Parts\" section of the Character-Online customer service website. (Though there are spare Dalek parts which is kind of awesome.) You have to call the company\'s customer service department which is in the UK. So unless you want to call long distance and pay shipping from the UK for pen nibs? Do not loose them. (This may change, I hope it does.)
Onto the good stuff!
I really love owning this thing. A few days ago I had a blackout at night and (due to a recent move) I couldn\'t find my flashlight, but I was using this thing to make some notes. So I used it to find my keys and my wallet to go out and buy a proper flashlight and some candles. Doing that was more fun then I should probably admit in a public forum. Secondly, the UV ink is tangentially educational. Your child likes Doctor Who, you get them this pen, they write secret messages on the psychic paper and say \"Cool! How does that work?\" They then become interested in what UV light is, learn all sorts interesting stuff about wavelengths and \"Yay! Science if fun!\"
If you\'re a cosplayer through, that\'s not really your concern. From close up and far away it looks good, it has the right moving parts, lights up and makes the noise. It comes with batteries. I don\'t know what more you could ask for.
Just don\'t misplace the pen nibs.
If you\'re a Doctor Who fan, this is standard equipment. This little sonic screwdriver looks and sounds just like the one featured on the episodes. Makes for a fun drinking game.
The husband may scoff, and no, it does not seem like the most sturdy thing ever made, but I cannot stop smiling whenever I use this. I\'m not too sure about getting refills and such, or if it would even be truly worth it to bother. That\'s not really the point though, is it? Now, if you\'ll excuse me, it\'s late at night and I have a lot of cabinets to put up...
I purchased the Sonic Screwdriver as a Christmas gift for my 7 year old daughter. It was a huge hit! She was more excited about it than any of her other gifts. My wife and I were also very impressed with the quality of the product. It is very well made and came with its own batteries. I must admit that with the interchangeable ballpoint pen and invisible ink heads I really would love to get this as a gift myself. It is so great to see a toy that is so well made. Doctor Who fans at any age will love this product.
