At the moment I'yard using a cheap prepare of 6 jewellers' flat blade screwdrivers I bought in the nighttime market at Hong Kong for about HK$10. The smallest blade is 1.0mm going upwardly to 3.8mm, just I simply need the iii smallest ones. I had to grind them down slightly as the blades were besides thick for the screw slots. They don't last for e'er simply enough long enough, and it'southward very cheap to buy some other set. The Phillips screws are more often than not modest too, the screwdriver I utilize nigh has a 2mm diameter shaft, and occasionally I need a 3mm for larger screws. _________________ Peter - Moderator

You should utilise crosspoint drivers for crosspoint screws. All the same, as a practical matter, I have non constitute much difference. Usually a ready of jewelers screwdrivers that includes both cross/phillips and apartment blades volition exist acceptable. Virtually of the newer lenses (mid-70s and newer) apply cross-blazon screws, while many of the older ones apply slotted screws. You lot'll need some really tiny screwdrivers, usually flat-bladed, for some of the tiny grubscrews you run beyond. I've also occasionally run across tiny allen-head screws, and it tin can exist quite a challenge finding allen wrenches to fit this tiny allen chow screws. Fortunately, they're not all that common in lenses. _________________ Michael My Gear Listing: http://michaelmcbroom.com/photo/gear.html My Gallery: http://michaelmcbroom.com/gallery3/index.php/ My Flickr Page: https://www.flickr.com/photos/11308754@N08/albums My Music: https://soundcloud.com/michaelmcbroom/albums My Weblog: http://michaelmcbroom.com/blogistan/

Flat-blades you demand all sizes up to 4mm. for some lenses. Quality is important to avert dissentious screws - thrift shop sets of drivers IMHO are worse than useless for this reason. The driver must fit the spiral pefectly or it leaves burrs. All my drivers have handles made more "grippable" by forcing short lengths of hose over them. Some ballpoint pens have condom grips that fit. Y'all need to exist able to exert forcefulness on a tight screw without losing control and this is much easier with a thicker handle.

When they do eventually vesture out I regrind them for "specials," eg. trifoil before $.25 were bachelor, micro Torx same reason. Sometimes difficult to detect expert tools except from the manufacturer of the equipment in the early on days pre-internet. With a very tight screw I heat the head with a soldering fe then printing hard with the driver & give a quick but controlled twist - the extra torque & control provided past the grip actually helps hither - without it the flake tin can jump out of the spiral caput or chew it up. The soldering iron is just for screws into metal of course!

Information technology's marked "NIWA PD 30 Japan" only I guess Niwa are by now probably made somewhere with lower manufacturing costs. The locking collar on this does appear to be of much ameliorate quality than the XPT in the pic. and mayhap larger too. Makes me doubt that the current bits will be of similar quality to the ones I've always used - hardening & tempering of small-scale parts needs good QC. I may order some other 10 bits in size 00 just to see if they're up to snuff. When I need longer shaft drivers for deeply-recessed screws I sometimes apply the aforementioned ones that you take and find them perfectly adequate. Size 00 is really critical for me though because information technology'southward quite pocket-size and is used at least ten times more oftentimes than any other for most mod cameras & lenses.
