A sonic screwdriver was owned by the Fourteenth Doctor, which had similar design elements to previous models. (PROSE: Super Sonic [+]Loading...["Super Sonic (feature)"])
Appearance
The sonic screwdriver had similar design elements to previous sonic screwdrivers and other devices: the wide area dispersal petals and the resonator cage were similar to the Eleventh Doctor's sonic screwdriver; the handle was similar to the Ninth and Tenth Doctor's sonic screwdriver, which was made from coral like the TARDIS; the frequency and intensity dials were similar to the Master's laser screwdriver; the cage around the central sonic cluster was similar to that of the Twelfth Doctor's second model (PROSE: Super Sonic [+]Loading...{"page":"36-37","1":"Super Sonic (feature)"}) and a Dalek gunstick; (TV: Dalek [+]Loading...["Dalek (TV story)"], AUDIO: Eye of Darkness [+]Loading...["Eye of Darkness (audio story)"], etc.) and the primary sonic emitter was similar to the bullet-shaped emitter on the sonic screwdriver belonging to the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Doctors and the sonic screwdriver belonging to (PROSE: Super Sonic [+]Loading...{"page":"36-37","1":"Super Sonic (feature)"}) the Seventh (TV: Doctor Who [+]Loading...["Doctor Who (TV story)"]) and Eighth Doctors. (PROSE: Super Sonic [+]Loading...{"page":"36-37","1":"Super Sonic (feature)"})
The activation button also had circular Gallifreyan embossed into it and the function access controls were located at the pommel, with a hexagonal cutout at the very base.

Uses

History
After the Thirteenth Doctor's sonic screwdriver fell into the Fourteenth Doctor's possession following his regeneration, the screwdriver was destroyed by a fake Supreme Dalek at the Dalek Dome. (COMIC: Liberation of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Liberation of the Daleks (comic story)"]) He later replaced it.

Behind the scenes
- Some of the design choices of the sonic screwdriver were Easter Eggs; as revealed by props makers Michael van Kesteren and Barry Jones,[1] some of the out-of-universe details included:
- The "frequency and intensity dials" portion of the sonic contained a ball detent ratchet — as Phil Sims wanted "knurled" detail on the sonic — so the dials, when turned, made a clicking noise.
- The hexagonal indentation in the pommel was designed to fit an ordinary screwdriver head.
- The wide area dispersal petals resembled the officially-named "Eleventh Doctor's flippy-out petals"
- The cage around the central sonic cluster was meant to reference Rusty's line to the Twelfth Doctor in Into the Dalek: "You would make a good Dalek."
- That the crackled coral effect on the screwdriver — like Nine and Ten's — was Raku.
Merchandise
Several pieces of merchandise of the Fourteenth Doctor's sonic screwdriver have been released.
