On the screwdriver: I've never had one in the car for any type of self-defense purposes but I have had one present in the driver's door sill area (map pocket) for legitimate use in a number of vehicles so I'd agree that it would be easily dismissed.
On the baton bending/getting warped: Look at it this way. If you end up with it bent, ruined, or not collapsing anymore because you used it to defend yourself, then big deal. You're out a $70 baton. Sounds like money well spent to keep your person intact and your wallet with you.
As to actually carrying one though, personally I think it would be hard to justify it as anything other than a concealed weapon and I'd look for alternatives that are less likely to land me in legal trouble if deployed.
Just my $0.02 though.
