Jis Screwdrivers

[sniff6]

Just wondering if anyone on here uses these Jis screwdrivers (Japanese industry standard). They Seem a bit expensive and ive always used a Philips.

Yep. I use one of these:-

A non-JIS is ok if the screw head is perfect, and it isn't too tight. But I've had a few screws (brake master cylinder, chain guard) where I'd struggled to get them off whilst the proper screwdriver just works.

Yes, though only after mangling screws and buying several different cross-head screwdrivers hoping to do better. I finally read about JIS screwdrivers on BCF. Get. You can also buy JIS bits instead of entire screwdrivers.

I'll be honest i thought it was just crap jap screws why they always cam out.Talking to someone today and he said about the JIS screwdrivers he had. So i thought I'd get some feed back from you guys first.

I replace any JIS screws on my reservoirs, as someone who does not own the tool, I despise the screws.

My KR1S is riddled with the things, which is why I've just bought the set that Pete linked to.

JIS screwdrivers are better than sex. Good luck splitting a carb bank without them.

Yes I use them. I have a set of three vessel ones. They are awesome and definately worth the money.

They are better then a phillips screwdriver on phillips screws too.

I keep meaning to pony up and get a set but Honda-san kindly provided one in the toolkit for the Viff so that sees its fair share of action.
