I got a lot of questions about why I used a big screwdriver instead of a chisel to break out a door jamb in my old video. This new video from The Honest Carpenter will show compare chisels and "demolition" screwdrivers--and explain why big screwdrivers are the superior demolition tool!
Big "demolition" screwdrivers generally come in 10" and 12" models. I personally prefer the 10" model because it fits more conveniently in my tool belt. THOUGH, a 12" screwdriver will provide even more breaking power.

CHISEL VS. BIG SCREWDRIVER EXPLANATION:
CHISELS: Chisels are really more of a tool for fine work. They're best used for paring wood, shaving wood surfaces, carving wood, and cutting down through (and across) wood grain. They can also be used for lightly prying wood.
BIG "DEMOLITION" SCREWDRIVERS: These screwdrivers are used less frequently on the jobsite for turning screws, and more frequently for breaking apart wood and wood structures (amongst other things).
REASONS BIG SCREWDRIVERS ARE PREFERABLE FOR DEMOLITION:
1) DURABILITY
Chisels require a very sharp edge to maintain their usefulness. When that edge becomes chipped or broken, the chisel loses much of its function. So on job sites, where carpenters come in contact with a lot of different materials, chisels will see more exposure to surfaces that can damage their sharp points.
Big screwdrivers on the other hand have a blunter tip to begin with, and a virtually indestructible steel shaft, along with an epoxy/resin handle. They can be struck with hammers or even mauls, from many angles, and can be used on wood, concrete and metal.
2) LEVERAGE
Most chisels are roughly 7" long. The big demolition screwdriver is 10-12" long! This provides 3 additional inches of leverage, which makes a very big difference when you're prying out wood components, or cracking them apart.
Also, which chisels can be used for some prying, too much force can damage them.
3) MULTI-TASKING
Big demolition screwdrivers can be used for probing, acting as wedges, and a number of other things. Chisels primarily only have one function.
4) TRANSFERRING FORCE
Big demolition screwdrivers can also be used to transfer force onto fasteners and areas you can't easily reach. The tip of the screwdriver can be inserted into a difficult-to-reach area, and the shaft can then be struck to drive the tip downward. This can help break concealed fasteners, or drive down nails that are standing proud.
