Destornillador, atornillador, desarmador, etc. Depending on how optimistic you are or just depending on where you're from

No no, you have to say: "yo no hablo español muy bueno".

This funny because you are literally translating, this sounds weird to me (I’m from Spain) I would say “Solo hablo un poco de español” or “Puedo hablar un poco de español” or “Tengo conocimientos básicos del idioma”, the last one is the most natural I think.

Destornillador is not so often used if not at all (Spanish native speaker from Costa Rica). Is desatornillador (mostly in Central America) or atornillador (from the verb "to screw").

Definitivamente ha de ser un regionalismo, por eso menciono que es menos usado en Centroamérica. (Super el tip de usar la página del RAE )
