The Eleventh Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver
The Eleventh Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver
The Doctor’s multipurpose tool is a Gallifreyan device, with numerous settings, easily controlled at the press of his thumb. The Doctor has had many sonic screwdrivers of different designs throughout his life, and this latest one was created from within the TARDIS console itself after the previous one was destroyed during a confrontation with Prisoner Zero in the village of Leadworth. This new sonic is larger, with a luminous green light but continues to be an essential part of the Doctor’s equipment as he explores the universe. This faithful copy of the Doctor’s trusty Sonic Device has spring loaded extending action. Pressing the button on the side of the handle activates the LED and Sound FX which operates in CLOSED mode. Flip open the cap at the end of the Screwdriver to reveal an additional button that activates the light and sound effects when it is in full extension OPEN mode.

September 20th, 2010 - 3:33pmExactly! That’s the exact same as mine!
who crazy!
September 20th, 2010 - 3:32pmSeriously, yours might have something wrong because mine is ok and ive had it more than a week.
pupbenny
September 20th, 2010 - 3:32pmThat’s not true! Well mabe CO are retracting it I don’t know but the thing about it not lasting a week definately isn’t. I’ve had mine for about 5 months and it’s still perfectly working.
who crazy!
September 20th, 2010 - 3:31pmlegocheeta, ive had mine for 5 months now and it isnt broken.

September 20th, 2010 - 8:43amSeriously people, don’t buy this! It is doomed to break! BBC have retracted the product! They know it keeps breaking! I’ve kept my second non-working one (mainly down to the fact that it looks good and I can’t be bothered to mail it back) but heed my warning! It will not last you more than a week! I’m not trying to cause any offence but this product is malfunctioning. Please listen. I don’t want more people falling into the trap that I did. I don’t even think the cause is the hidden sounds. I think it just gives out.

who’s your nan!
September 8th, 2010 - 9:04pmor is it meant to flick open? what does yours do?
who’s your nan!
September 8th, 2010 - 9:02pmthe only thing annoying with this is that when you press the button so it springs up,the flap over the red button flicks open!they should have made it with a little clip so it stays in place

September 8th, 2010 - 8:57pmi got mine from fobidon planet along with the 11th dr crash set.

September 8th, 2010 - 8:20pmThese are instock on the argos site! Type in dr who scroll down and click 2 and there are a few things there and look down until you see the sonic screwdriver. About 2 days delivery or 2 left? I cant remember.
who crazy!
August 23rd, 2010 - 11:59amTrue because when i bought mine two months ago, the argos in middleton didnt do them, neither in manchester. They had one left in the argos in rochdale. I reserved it and went to rochdale and got the sonic screwdriver. The sonics cool isnt it?

August 8th, 2010 - 11:45pmI live in the U.S.A. and I got one at my local comic shop. A day after I got it the sound gave out after I accessed the 2 secret sounds.The next day the light stopped working to. I brought it back to the store to replace it But they did not have any more, so I had to wait almost 6 months for a replacemet to arive. I finaly got My new one but I’m afraid to use the secret sounds to much incase It might brake again It cost Me almost $40.00 And I won’t be able to replace it again if it doe’s.So I hope and pray that this one lasts.
who crazy!
July 27th, 2010 - 3:59pmDalek ship the same happend to me! I’ll tell you what to do!
1. Get some of those circle battries
