However, he did not keep this promise, as he used this sonic screwdriver several times afterwards. ( COMIC: Clara Oswald and the School of Death, The Fourth Wall) Each model used the same software. Essentially, the sonic screwdriver in use by the War Doctor was the same as that in the Eleventh Doctor's possession, some 400 years later. ( TV: The Day of the Doctor)

After the loss of the previous sonic screwdriver, the TARDIS gifted the Eleventh Doctor with a new model. Differing radically from the last, with its extendable "claws" and green crystalline emitter resembling the inner structure of the TARDIS's new time rotor, it also had copper plating similar to the new control room. ( TV: The Eleventh Hour) A psychic interface allowed its user to point it at a target and think of the function they wanted. ( TV: Let's Kill Hitler, Death in Heaven) Having been mentioned to be more than sonic, ( TV: Night Terrors) this screwdriver also shot beams of green energy in the shape of sonic waves. ( TV: Day of the Moon, Closing Time, The Time of the Doctor) By at least the time of the Doctor's thirteenth regeneration, it had a voice-activation feature, which the Doctor forgot about when he needed it.

The Virgin Missing Adventures novel Venusian Lullaby established that the First Doctor had a sonic screwdriver. In "Silence in the Library", Professor River Song possesses a slightly bulkier sonic screwdriver, which she claims the Doctor gave to her in his future. The Doctor mentioned that he does not give his screwdriver to anyone. In the following episode, Professor Song mentions that her screwdriver is augmented with a "red setting" and "dampers". It also contains a hidden neural relay linked to River Song, saving her at the episode's conclusion—the purpose for which the future Doctor gave Professor Song the device. A toy version is available. It was revealed in " The Husbands of River Song" that it was the Twelfth Doctor who gave it to River. In " Hell Bent", the TARDIS gives the Doctor a brand new sonic screwdriver. The new screwdriver has a TARDIS-blue shaft with gold and silver highlights. The upper half is a rectangular light grid that, when switched on, has four different functions: green light with low-pitched sound, blue light with high-pitched sound, green lights that pulse with a pulsing sound, and a blue light chasing pattern with a pulsing sound. The new sonic screwdriver is meant to represent the TARDIS. The Doctor first uses it in "The Husbands of River Song" (although he also employs the sonic sunglasses earlier in the episode). The new screwdriver has seen use in the spin-off show Class, where the Doctor increases the voltage of flood lights to expel the Shadow Kin and partially close a rift in space-time. He is shown to have working copies of every version of the Sonic Screwdriver ever seen before in a cup on his desk in "The Pilot." Nardole uses the Fifth Doctor's version when sealing bulkhead doors to keep out Daleks later in the episode. Comparing it to a Swiss Army knife, but without the knife, the Doctor explained that it functioned not only as a screwdriver, but as a scanner and a tin opener, and it could be used for diagnostics. ( TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth)The sonic screwdriver made its first appearance in the serial Fury from the Deep (1968), written by Victor Pemberton. It was used thereafter by the Second Doctor as a multi-purpose tool, with occasional variations in appearance over the course of the series. The sonic screwdriver could create sparks or flames to light candles ( TV: The Girl in the Fireplace) or ignite flammable gasses. ( TV: Evolution of the Daleks, COMIC: The Hunt of Doom) It could also cut through rope, ( TV: The Age of Steel, The Runaway Bride, The Fires of Pompeii) corrode and reconnect thin metal objects, such as barbed wire, ( TV: The Doctor Dances) and shatter glass and ice. ( TV: Army of Ghosts, COMIC: Arctic Eclipse) It could also be used as a conventional screwdriver without touching screws. ( TV: The Doctor's Daughter, Dreamland)

Prior to formally acquiring it, the Doctor first used this model of the screwdriver during his degeneration crisis in the Time War when he shifted forward in his timestream to his appearance as the Tenth Doctor, alongside his garments and possessions. During use on Planetoid 50 he was very delighted with the sophistication of the sonic. ( AUDIO: The Martian Invasion of Planetoid 50) Activating the reverse in a badly damaged, insane Dalek's casing to send it into other insane Daleks (as it was going to self-destruct). ( TV: Asylum of the Daleks) Dan Walker redesigned the sonic screwdriver, devising how it looks when used by the Ninth and Tenth Doctors. "We hit upon the idea of spark plugs, which in themselves are very iconic," Walker stated. "Initially, we started off quite techy, with retractable elements that would interface with an unlimited number of devices." Despite his work on redesigning the device, Walker wasn't allowed to take one of the sonic screwdriver props home with him. ( ImageFX magazine, October 2008, pp. 63 & 64) The sonic screwdriver would, in rare occasions, be used as an offensive weapon, firing energy blasts. The Eleventh Doctor used it in this manner to help River Song defeat a group of Silents, defeating at least two of them. ( TV: Day of the Moon) The Twelfth Doctor used the same model of screwdriver to blast a Hyperion, buying himself and others time to escape from it. ( COMIC: The Hyperion Empire) It could also destroy ice creatures when it received the latest update. ( TV: The Snowmen) In the animated title sequence of the first series of Totally Doctor Who, the Tenth Doctor uses his sonic screwdriver to fire a blue burst of energy which blows off the hand of a Cyberman.Doctor Who 12th Doctor Sonic Screwdriver Remote To Debut at Comic-Con".

( TV: Midnight, The Next Doctor) It could also analyse objects ( TV: The Eleventh Hour, COMIC: Doomsilk) or detect certain materials in the area. ( COMIC: The Halls of Sacrifice) These included time traces ( TV: The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith) and forms of energy.

It had a metallic tip with six prongs that nested a clear diode at the end, which glowed blue when activated. ( AUDIO: The Great War) Its handle doubled as a torch.
