Yes, flatten the tool's arch to engage the screw in the keyhole cut-out, which holds the screw steady and frees both hands to back it out with a screwdriver.
The Veritas screw lifter is made from spring steel, which flexes under pressure to generate outward force without bending permanently, then springs back for the next use.
It weighs less than 1 oz and lies flat, so it fits in a drawer or pouch without crowding other tools.
