Mike:
Radio Shack usually offers a set of 5-6 Phillips screwdrivers in very
small sizes. So does JameCo (#34059). I have several sets and as
long as you don't over-do putting 'the arm' on they, they work well
and last a long time.
I have 'regular length' handheld #0 Phillips screwdrivers as well...
they are the next size down from a #1. The name on these screwdrivers
is Pro'sKit ( http://www.proskit.com/ ). I went to this site but for
some odd reason, it didn't list ANY of the full-sized straight blade
or Phillips screwdrivers, though it did offer several small-size
sets. These screwdrivers have proven to be VERY GOOD for my uses...
they have what appears to be a hardened (black) tip which fits well
into the screws I've been using them on. The pricing is decent and
the quality seems to be excellent.
I bought mine from Central Missouri Distributing Company, Jefferson
City MO, 1-800-456-0263, or [EMAIL PROTECTED] They stock a number of
the straight blade and Phillips sizes (#0 thru #2) and a number of
the much smaller tip sizes as well, and in several lengths from a 3"
shaft up through a 10" shaft, which I've found to be VERY handy when
disassembling or assembling radios... really runs the machine screws
in/out quickly.
I've not been able to find a web site where you can readily access
only the screwdriver page, but if you go to
http://www.eclipsetools.com/pdfcatalog/Screwdrivers-Bits.pdf you'll
be able to download only the screwdriver section of their catalog.
They are a distributor, so you may not be able to buy directly from
them however. The screwdrivers which I bought are on page 5 of the
(6MB) pdf link shown above.
I'm sure there are MANY other good sources for higher quality
screwdrivers, SEARS, etc., but I thought I'd at least mention this source.
Though I have done business with Central MO Dist'n Co for the past 50
years, I have NO monetary interest in them at all.

I'm in need of a very small phillips screwdriver, but haven't been
able to find actual dimensions of them and I don't know what size a
"#0" would be, etc. I thought someone on this board might have some
advice. The slots in these screws are .064" or 1.63mm. Any help
would be greatly appreciated!
