The [[Second Doctor]]s' '''[[sonic screwdriver]]''' was the first such device used by [[the Doctor]] and was somewhat primitive in its capabilities relative to later designs. Prior to the creation of this sonic screwdriver, both the [[First Doctor|First]] and [[Second Doctor]]s were seen to utilise sonic devices, with the latter of these inspiring the screwdriver's genesis.

During his travels with [[Polly Wright]] and [[Ben Jackson]], the Second Doctor built a sonic device on the [[Hotel Galaxian]] while imprisoned by the [[Selachian]]s. He used it to trip the lock in the room they were trapped in, but the device was destroyed the process. He pledged to make a more permanent version one day.

Indeed, Second Doctor was carrying a device he actually described as a "sonic screwdriver" not long after he had welcomed [[Jamie McCrimmon]] aboard the TARDIS. On the island of [[Kenga]], the Doctor brought the device out of his pockets along with a bag of [[sherbet lemon]]s and his [[Five Hundred Year Diary]], displaying the items to Polly. Despite possessing the device, the Doctor still picked a lock on the island instead of using the sonic. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Forsaken (audio story)|The Forsaken]]'') Later, on [[Santespri]], the Doctor used his new sonic screwdriver only after determining that his ordinary method of lockpicking would be intractable.
