Get a Cool Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver

If you're a Doctor Who fan, then you're familiar with The Doctor's sonic screwdriver, a multipurpose tool that allows the Doctor to open doors, access computers, scan for alien life, and remotely control other devices, among other uses.

Wouldn't it be cool to have your own sonic screwdriver?  You can buy different models of the Doctor Who sonic screwdriver....although you won't be able to use your device in quite the same way as The Doctor! 

Some of the models that are available are prop replicas that look like the different sonic screwdrivers that The Doctor has used over the years.  These are great for adding more authenticity to your Doctor Who costume, or of course just to have around for fun.   Some of the models you can buy are actually useful tools themselves, such as a real screwdriver or working LED flashlight.  

The Tenth Doctor, played by David Tennant, uses a sonic screwdriver that looks very similar to the one shown here.   Of course his does much more than this one...but...this replica does light up and it has cool sound effects from the TV program. 

This is a replica of the latest model of sonic screwdriver on the Doctor Who series, and used by the Eleventh Doctor, played by Matt Smith.  This version, according to the Doctor Who saga, was created by the Tardis itself after the previous model was destroyed. 

Doctor Who 11th Doctor's Diecast Sonic Screwdriver  $29.99

This 8 1/2 inch die-cast screwdriver is nicely designed to resemble the eleventh Doctor's sonic screwdriver. It has sound effects and it lights up like The Doctor's model, but it's also a real, usable screwdriver.

It comes with three reversible tips for small, medium, and larger screws. One end of the tip is a Phillips head, and the other is a flat head. You can store the tips in the base of the screwdriver when not in use.

So even though you won't be able to scan for real alien life with this screwdriver, you'll be able to use it for practical chores around the house!

Batteries are included.

These two LED flashlights are smaller than the prop replicas shown above, but resemble the sonic screwdrivers of the tenth and eleventh Doctors.   They're not meant to be used for heavy-duty play-acting, but to give you some light in a dark space!  

The first one shown here gets better ratings on Amazon than the second one, perhaps because there's an error in the description of the second flashlight.   It says that it extends like the "real" sonic screwdriver, but I don't think it does.   These are just flashlights, not role-playing props!   They come with the required batteries.

Doctor Who River Song's Future Sonic Screwdriver $22.99

We just watched the episodes Silence in the Library and Forests of the Dead where this cool futuristic sonic screwdriver is featured, along with the introduction of River Song, a future companion of the Doctor.  

This sonic screwdriver is more advanced than the Doctor's own screwdriver, but River Song says it was his in the future, and that he gave it too her.   Mysterious!  And a great couple of episodes!  

This replica is 7" long, and has interchangeable red and blue LED tips, and it has sound effects.
