A screwdriver and a small hammer for flint lock are exactly the main functions.
Image of screwdrivers among arms on gravestones from the Caucasus.
A lot, if not most, caucasian miquelet locks seem to have a ring in the screw to tighten down the top jaw to hold the flint. I always assumed you slipped a ramrod through this to get a bit of leverage. I wonder if the right-angled protrusion or hook on this tool could serve the same purpose?
