Anyone know where I can get a good quality one at a reasonable price?
Best I have spotted so far is Amazon which is more than £12 including
delivery. It *must* be JIS, not Phillips!

Surely it's time for the Japs to drop JIS screws.

This page suggests DIN 5260/ISO 8764-1 is close enough. They may
be easier to find although I haven't looked.

Rubbish, Phillips is designed to cam out for automated manufacture. JIS
is far superior. And my screws are "old" JIS.

What does a camming Phillips design have to do with the author's suggestion
to use the new DIN/ISO standard for JIS screws? Perhaps you didn't read
further than the name of the link.

Because I've got JIS #1 screws so the DIN won't fit. Perhaps *you*
didn't read it:

"The JIS standard screwdriver will always outperform a DIN/ISO screw
driver in the worst of conditions on a JIS screw, and the same is true
in reverse".
