JIS screw drivers
Did you know, that the screw heads in our cars is neither phillips nor pozi drive, but JIS?
The history of the Phillips head is interesting. http://www.vesseltools.com/hand-tool...-products.html I bought a set of Vessels and they really do fit the japanese screws really well. A very cool addition to my tools. And they fit all our Honda bikes and three Subaru cars . http://www.rjrcooltools.com/jis.cfm http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcyc...rewdrivers.htm /T |

Re: JIS screw drivers
The story of the Robertson (Canadian) screwdriver is also very interesting.

Re: JIS screw drivers
I ran into the subject on a bike forum.
Couldn't find them here - bought a set while in Connecticut. /T |
