Best Answer

There is no advantage whether the handle is 1.2 cm or 10 cm, the screw will still only make one revolution. The reason being is that both the screw driver and the screw become part of the whole. The only increase in the screws revolutions is if the screw driver is geared to make more than one turn of the screw.
