The only acrylic screwdrivers I've ever used and have a selection of are pot trimmers for electronics adjustment as to not conduct electricity or static for eg.
I can only imagine it possibly being used for a Quartz or some sort of hybrid power watch. Hope this helps. |

I use an acrylic stick to hold things in place, but a acrylic screwdriver? never.

What tickandtokalot said.
Back in the day we used specially insulated fiberglass drivers around various high voltage circuits, TV's and industrial equipment and such.

Hard enough to work but soft enough to not scratch metal

given how fine the tip would have to be, and I realize that you're not cranking down hard on movement screws, but I can't imagine it would last long
