Moody Tools - JIS Type S Driver Set, 4Pc Pollicis - 58-0405

These are for Japanese products especially camera and car parts. They are well built and come in a nice pouch to keep them organized. The labeling on the pouch is in a dark ink so is a bit hard to read. The marks on the screwdrivers themselves are good however.

Saves a lot of messed up screws on Japanese equipment by fitting JIS slots perfectly.

these have passed the test of time, good product

When searching for precision tools, I wanted to make sure I did not buy a made in China product - it's nearly unavoidable, I know, but I found Moody Tools and Wiha were popular ones. Since Wiha did not have JIS mini screwdrivers I chose Moody Tools. The metal shafts themselves seem to be of really good quality, but I did not like that the plastic handles had leftover flash from the injection molding around the base of the shafts. A little localized sanding fixed the issue, but I was hoping for higher quality control. Otherwise the tools feel comfortable to hold and to use, and I like the color as well.

Okay since Amazon and Moody tools won't tell you here's the critical information:1) If you're working on a Japanese DSLR these are essential because of a difference in the pitch or angle of the head,conventional Phillips will strip out your Japanese screw heads (Phillips are too narrow of an angle)2) These are based on their own (JIS) system of sizing, the SIZES include: 4.0mm, 3.0mm, 2.5mm and 2.0mm3) However, to a Phillips user these approximate to Size #1, 0, 00 and 000In image: black finish is JIS2.5mm chrome is Phillips #00

Screwdriver tip crumbled like it was made of recycled aluminum.Bought this set to work on Japanese cameras (Canon & Nikon). The second screw used with this new driver set caused the tip to break like it was made of porous cheap aluminum. Had to resort to using a PH#000 driver that I had from Harbor Freight. Do not recommend this JIS driver kit.

When working on any Japanese lens or similar product that requires a "phillips head screwdriver" and it does not seem to fit.. . . . stop. . . stop what you are doing before you destroy the screw. . . . . what you have is a screw that needs these special screwdrivers. . . Yep. . . sounds funny. .but they are not the same. . .slight differences cause our american phillips head screw drivers to destroy the japanese screws. . .You guessed it, I learned the hard way on a very expensive camera lens. i did not know there was a difference. . . dag nab it. . Now, I can repair the lens or clean the inside lenses without a problem, because I have the correct tool. And. . yep. . I found it fits our key fob for our car. . . . looks like a phillips head screw, but our screwdrivers do not fit. But these screwdrivers fit perfectly. . . .hmmmm . . interesting. . .now it is no problem changing the battery in this key fob gizzie. . . hope this helps. . .

Who measured these things? They are listed as 3.2 inches long. Yet my ruler clearly shows them as being over 6 inches long (bold figures). I have not really used them yet, but the tips do fit firmly into the screw on a camera I tried them in. But carrying them onto an airplane might be difficult-they could be viewed as a weapon. I think I will be returning them for a properly sized set that I can carry for emergency camera work.
