nut driver

Socket tool alternative

A nut driver is a hand tool resembling a screwdriver but with a socket at the tip instead of a blade, designed to tighten or loosen nuts and bolts.

The socket fits over the fastener's head, allowing rotation with the handle.

Nut drivers come in various sizes and are common in electronics work and mechanical assembly: I grabbed a nut driver to secure the panel screws.
