📋 About This Mod
This is a quick and simple mod that replaces all screwdrivers (lootable, on idle animations, and in the lockpicking minigame interface) with a new model.
I
f you give a screwdriver to Nick Valentine, he will sometimes idly fix his arm using this screwdriver instead of vanilla's.
It also adds a Phillips screwdriver, though not integrated into anything as to not conflict with anything, but you can use it for whatever you want as long as you link this mod.
There are 1K (low quality) and 4K (high quality) versions of the textures, packed in BA2 available with a ESL plugin to load them. There are also optionally the same ones but with an ESP for if you want it for some reason.
Since the description is so short that there is not much else to add, here's a cool capybara taking a shower:
