Doctor Who 11th Doctor Diecast Sonic Screwdriver

Doctor Who 11th Doctor Diecast Sonic Screwdriver
Imported from the UK! This perfectly detailed metallic screwdriver is based on the sonic screwdriver carried by the eleventh Doctor; the only difference is that this screwdriver is best used for projects around the house, not for saving the universe! 

When in use, the screwdriver lights up and makes sounds, just like the Doctor's sonic screwdriver. It comes with three tips - large, medium, and small - and each tip is reversable with Phillips and Flathead ends.
