A screw feeder (10) is disclosed which can be mounted to a screwdriver (12) for holding a screw (32) in position relative to a screwdriver bit (16) of the screwdriver (12) to enable insertion of the screw (12) into a workpiece adjacent the holding portion (30). The screw feeder (10) has a holding portion (30) and a feeder portion (34) adjacent the holding portion (30). The holding portion (30) can releasably hold a first screw (32) in position relative to the screwdriver bit (16) and receive a distal end of the screwdriver bit (16) to enable the screwdriver bit (16) to insert the first screw (32) into the workpiece. The feeder portion (34) is arranged adjacent the holding portion (30) and is adapted to receive a plurality of second screws (36) and to sequentially feed each of the second screws (36) into the holding portion (30) in response to retraction of the screwdriver bit (16) from the holding portion.
