Suggestions for case screw tool

Post26 Sep 2010, 05:27

Hey guys,

I would take suggestions on brands for a good #00 Phillips screwdriver for use on my (4) Majestyk watches.

I browsed around and it seems about all I can find look like the cheap junk you'd find at home depot with the pressed on spinning end cap.

I don't want a $20 screwdriver, but I don't want soft junk either.

Thoughts?

For a walk-in store, Radio Shack carries a "good to better" line of smaller hand tools.

Seems to be top notch and was affordable. Too bad 2 of the screw heads were pretty much already stripped out. At least they weren't too tight!!

I'm curious if the end on yours rotates. Those "spinning caps" actually allow for pressure to be maintained downward (cap against the palm) whilst keeping the screwdriver parallel to the screw, all while turning with two fingers. :-)

Yes the end does spin and the bit seems to fit the unmangled screw heads well.
