Japanese Industry Standard Screwdrivers

[davesax36]

At the suggestion of Traumahawk, I finally picked up a small set of Japanese Industry Standard screwdrivers (JIS). They're no joke. They really do fit perfectly into the heads of all these cross-head screws. If you're going to do a bunch of work this winter and have lots of stock screws to fiddle with, do yourself a favor and pick up a set. Now that I've tried one, I'm going to get some longer ones, and see if I can get a number 1 (my set seems to only get as bit as a normal 2). I got a set on Amazon for $25.

I'm sure there are better ones and ebay and whatever, but try one and you won't want to use the wrong tool again.

Thank you. I had read an article about them about a year ago, and so ordered them off of ebay. They are GREAT!!! And grip so much better than a phillips.
