Brownell's is a gunsmith supply store, but the screwdrivers I was talking about
are also known as "clockmaker's screwdrivers". Either way, they have
hollow-ground hardened blades rather than flat-sided bevel tips, and they come
in a range of withs as well as thickness. I use them for any situation where a
good fit in the screw head is important.
For oversized screwdrivers, the ones that are sold as pry bars can serve...
