RE: [Elecraft] Miniature screwdriver sizes
Mike: Last week I spotted a neat 4-in-1 miniature screwdriver for sale at the checkout counter of the local hardware store. It is about the size of a Sharpie marking pen and has a pocket clip. Included are two very small flat-bladed screwdrivers and two very small Phlllips. The case is a tough plastic, but the reversible bits are metal and appear to be precision ground. The price was only $3, and I could not resist. I am very pleased with my purchase. The label on it says Enderes Tools. I could not find this particular tool on their web site, but an internet search did turn it up on eBay. I expect it is being marketed as a promotional item. 73, John, no8v -Original Message- 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! -- 73, Mike, KC0KBC Yaesu FT-857D, FT-8800R, VX-7RB Elecraft KX1 #1819, XG2 ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

RE: [Elecraft] Miniature screwdriver sizes
Another great source for screwdrivers of all sizes from several high quality manufacturers is Time Motion Tools - www.timemotion.com. When I decided to order the K3, I figured I needed to upgrade my shack screwdrivers, since this will be the main assembly tool needed, and the best rig ever deserves the best screwdrivers! ;) I bought a selection from miniature thru regular #2 size, both Phillips and slotted. Wiha and Lindstrom brands are what I got, and they are things of beauty. This source also offers several other brands including the complete Craftsman line. Just part of the wonderful anticipation I'm experiencing - don't even mind the extra wait - there will be plenty of CW contests in 08 as well ;) ..

I prefer the Wiha precision screwdrivers (made in Germany). http://www.wihatools.com/200seri/261serie.htm The item number I use is 26190 which is a 7 piece combo Slotted/Phillips set for $25.46. ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
