Thanks. Next time I'm in Lowes I'll have look. Chuck Norcutt On 2/14/2016 4:32 PM, Jim Nichols wrote: I've been watching all of the tool suggestions, so felt I needed to contribute. This Kobalt kit from the local Lowe's store provides 9 double-ended drivers and a handle with a good grip, and folds up nicely to fit in my desk drawer. I used the jeweler-type for years on clarinets and saxophones, but this one is better. I don't have a strong enough magnifier to define the cross-point, but it is shown on the handle as if it is JIS. http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=19556 On my monitor, this is about life size.

It turns out that I have 3 other (little used) sets of drivers that I had always assumed were Philips. All 3 sets are JIS.Sounds right. I had to go to a little effort once to find actual Phillips drivers in tiny sizes.One 16 piece set even has the torque bar but only the hex drivers have the hole in the shaft. No hole in the cross-point or flat blade drivers.Just keep your eyes gently peeled, and one day you'll probably come across a little set of five in a plastic box, two JIS, three flat, with torque bar.I guess I don't need any more miniature drivers. Shhh. Don't tell my wife I said that. :-)Many years ago, I came up with a plan for things like screwdrivers and scissors. Instead of always looking for them, perhaps snapping at others in the household who have not put them back where they 'belong' and generally being a grouch and making others unhappy, as well as myself - just keep buying them until there's always one around when I need it. It worked! I love buying stuff anyway. And in the end, it doesn't costs much, particularly compared to the benefits. :-) Plenitude Moose -- _________________________________________________________________ Options: http://lists.thomasclausen.net/mailman/listinfo/olympus Archives: http://lists.thomasclausen.net/mailman/private/olympus/ Themed Olympus Photo Exhibition: http://www.tope.nl/ |
