A drive tool for transmitting a drive torque to a connection partner, particularly to a screw, wherein the drive tool can be inserted into a receiving recess of the connection partner and transmits the drive torque during a rotation about a central axis, wherein the drive tool - has a first end and a second end, - has radially outwardly projecting first protrusions that are wedge-like in cross-section, which radially outwardly projecting first protrusions are suitable for transmitting the drive torque to the connection partner, wherein one radially inner core section, respectively, is arranged between every two adjacent wedge-like first protrusions and each of the wedge-like first protrusions comprises a radially outer vertex section, - comprises a quasi-cylindrical section whose outer surface is quasi-cylindrical in the sense that • all surface lines, which are defined as intersection lines between the outer surface of the drive tool and a plane which contains the central axis, form in the region of the quasi-cylindrical section an angle of less than 10° with the central axis, however • the outer surface, at least in sections, is of such conical shape that the surface lines in the core sections are inclined by at least 1.5°, preferably by at least 2.5° with respect to the central axis and wherein the drive tool comprises a tapering section tapering towards the first end, which tapering section is arranged on the side of the quasi-cylindrical section closer to the first end and in which the surface lines in the region of the radially outer vertex sections of the first protrusions have at least in sections an angle of at least 30°, preferably at least 40° and particularly preferably at least 44°, and at least 60° with respect to the central axis. - has a first end and a second end, - has radially outwardly projecting first protrusions that are wedge-like in cross-section, which radially outwardly projecting first protrusions are suitable for transmitting the drive torque to the connection partner, wherein one radially inner core section, respectively, is arranged between every two adjacent wedge-like first protrusions and each of the wedge-like first protrusions comprises a radially outer vertex section, - comprises a quasi-cylindrical section whose outer surface is quasi-cylindrical in the sense that • all surface lines, which are defined as intersection lines between the outer surface of the drive tool and a plane which contains the central axis, form in the region of the quasi-cylindrical section an angle of less than 10° with the central axis, however • the outer surface, at least in sections, is of such conical shape that the surface lines in the core sections are inclined by at least 1.5°, preferably by at least 2.5° with respect to the central axis and • all surface lines, which are defined as intersection lines between the outer surface of the drive tool and a plane which contains the central axis, form in the region of the quasi-cylindrical section an angle of less than 10° with the central axis, however • the outer surface, at least in sections, is of such conical shape that the surface lines in the core sections are inclined by at least 1.5°, preferably by at least 2.5° with respect to the central axis and
