Jis screwdrivers
« on: November 16, 2016, 02:52:22 PM »
Hi guys and gals found this site today for JIS screwdrivers that fit the old cross heads, no more chewed screws.

They is also an impact version that is out of stock atm. But available elsewhere. Has anyone used one of these?

I have spent thousands on tool over the years and have found these JIS tools a rip off. Most people are shocked that I still use PH1, 2 and 3 and find they do the same job, even on the end of a torque wrench.
Even Ash had to agree with me that the PH is a very good fit.
The only time I have trouble getting a JIS machine screw out is when someone else has had a go before me.

I agree Trig, I would add that a PH2 fits better with the tip ground off a tadge.
Where's that 10mm socket got to?

  Is that "a grinder" or just "grinder" because that changes the whole context about what shape fits best.

Bought a set of these last week and they are a far better fit than any phillips screwdriver, even the ones with the ground tip i have been using for years, so now my ruined phillips ones will be consigned to the bin.

Like to see how you fit those screwdriver on a torque wrench.

Never used a JLS screwdriver in my life, like Trig a PH2 ground down on the tip worked just fine. I also found the Snap-On PH2 socket worked really well, although I did break the tip on a few of them using an impact driver with them, free replacement and they never asked how I'd broke it  :)
This is where you are getting wrong, If you try jis and not jls you will find there is a difference🙂

A ph2 will never fit a jis screw better than a jis screwdriver no matter how much hope you put into it.
