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!


If you are desperate you can file/grind the tip of the point off a
philips driver to make it fit JIS better.

I would think a PZ would work better but I don't have any suitable
screws I want to try either on.


True, but I don't believe any of my current small screwdrivers are
hardened. And 000 and 0000 are *tiny*.


I know, I have a PZ 000 and thats small.

PZ are closer to JIS than Philips.

Philips are designed to cam out when too much force is applied.

PZ and JIS don't have the tapered wings that Philips have so don't cam
out as easily.
