Which tool is classified as a rotating tool?

The correct choice is the screwdriver, as it is classified as a rotating tool. A screwdriver is designed to turn screws by applying rotary motion, which allows its tip to engage with the screw head and either tighten or loosen it. This action typifies the function of rotating tools, where the primary method of operation is achieved through rotation around an axis.

In contrast, tools like the pike pole, pry bar, and Halligan are not classified as rotating tools. The pike pole is primarily used for pulling and pushing, often to open ceilings or walls; the pry bar is designed to apply leverage to objects for prying and lifting; and the Halligan tool is versatile for forcible entry, combining elements of striking, prying, and twisting. Each of these tools operates through linear or lateral movements rather than rotational motion, distinguishing them from the screwdriver’s primary function.
