An offset screwdriver is best used for _______________.

Atightening Allen head screws only

Btightening or loosening "offset type" machine screws

Cscrews you cannot reach with a straight shaft screwdriver

Ddriving self-tapping screws only

AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) screws you cannot reach with a straight shaft screwdriver. An offset screwdriver is designed with a bent or angled shaft, which allows the user to access screws in tight spaces or in areas that cannot be reached with a traditional straight-shaft screwdriver. This makes the offset screwdriver the best choice for tightening or loosening screws that are difficult to access with a straight tool. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) an offset screwdriver is not specifically designed for Allen head screws, B) it can be used for more than just "offset type" machine screws, and D) it is not limited to driving self-tapping screws.
