A sonic screwdriver was an application of sonic technology, a type of engineer's tool used in and around the Federation in the 23rd and 24th centuries. (VAN novel: Harbinger; SCE eBooks: Wildfire, Book 1, Wildfire, Book 2)

A loose sonic screwdriver floated around the shuttlecraft Ellington when it experienced zero gravity. (TTN novel: Sword of Damocles)

This is evidently a "tip of the hat" to the BBC series Doctor Who, as The Doctor often makes use of a multi-purpose device of the same name.
