I contacted Carl at Micro Tools http://www.micro-tools.com/ and asked him
if a set of JIS screwdrivers would do the job for me on the extension
tube. He wrote back saying he recommended I purchase cross-points,
specifically the XPT series on this page
http://www.micro-tools.com/Merchant2/phillips.htm
So I'm about to do an on-line order, may as well buy a set while I'm at
it. I'm hoping the shipping to Oz won't be too expensive, USPS charges
like a wounded bull for international post.
My thanks to everyone who replied to my post about the extension tube
problem, your info was much appreciated.
