When I was a kid my family couldn't afford a screwdriver.
However, we did have a hammer.
With that hammer, some old nails and wire I found in the street, I made electric motors, solenoids, Morse Code units and wideband commutated radio transmitters and other things.
Yes, I had a hammer but I always wondered how things would've turned out if I'd had a screwdriver.
