JIS Screwdriver set
Yep, I'm a junkie...I'd made it to now with only a 1/4" JIS bit set, but just ordered this set. Only JIS tips in all the sizes, no slotted. Seems to be a discontinued set, only a few left. Thought somebody here might be interested, especially if you're tired of stripping screws in your Japanese cars, motorcycles, or appliances with your phillips screwdrivers.
MEGADORA-JIS-Screwdriver-6PCS-Set Damn! Apologies for poor computer skills...just search above on amazon...should come up. Price a bit less than $65 (another edit) 5 minute video on why JIS vs. Phillips https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgW2q4w20kk

I have the Vessel set and love them for my motorcycle and other things. I wish I had discovered them 50 years ago.

Umm, I'm embarrassed to say I've never heard of JIS screw drivers or screws. I thought I was pretty good to know the difference between a Philips #1 and a Philips #2.

Thanks Paul. I'll bring my "read the details" glasses with me next time I'm at the toolshop and buy one or two JIS screwdrivers.

Vessel's Impacta series function like impact drivers. I have those in a #2 and #3 size.

Two things I still have from 'back in the day' are an impact driver in a little tin case with 4 screwbits and the knowledge that I bought a few allen-head screw sets to replace the JIS screws in several of my Yamahas.

I have the same set. Really a replacement set. The little steel ball which transfers the force actually sheared. I took the set back to Canadian Tire to see if they could source a replacement ball and the guy just handed me a new set.
