That is a tool that has been around for so many centuries that the exact inventor is unknown. It dates back to the early years of machinery in which wedges and hand carved wooden screws were used to hold machines like olive oil-presses together.
Screws and their screwdrivers as we know them today started in the 18th century when a machine to mass produce them from metal was invented.
