It's contradictory, what about commercially available specialized tools? Who defines what's specialized and not?
I mean...you can be pedantic about it, but to me this reads fairly clearly as "If it can't be removed with a screwdriver, it's not allowed."
The evil is always in details, thats why with their Incandescent light bulb ban, these are now sold as heating devices/lamps, so much for their bans/rules. That's why I pointed out commercially available tools can be at same time specialized tools, they should rather mention something like it must be tools owned by 50% households according stats and do simple survey about screwdrivers.
