JIS screwdrivers

[Guest Carl_L]

When I were a nipper (during the war   ), every spotty yoof had an impact driver and/or a hammer & chisel & every back-street bike shop sold model-specific bags of allen-head screws for just about every Japanese bike on the market. If we'd known about JIS screwdrivers back then, we could've save ourselves a few quid & many a scraped knuckle.

 

Anyhoos, I don't really have a pressing need for them now but, the little beggars are so rarely found on sale, I jumped at the chance of ordering a set whilst they were available from a UK supplier - never know when some old dear might offer you a FS1-E for a tenner

 

So, a little heads-up for anyone else who may have been looking for some. I don't understand the rules about linking or not linking to sites, so I'll just suggest you Google 'JIS screwdrivers'  & look for a site that rhymes with bugg3red roads.

 Try Probuilt for JIS screwdrivers.

 There's another thread somewhere about them on the forum.

 

 Edit: Cancel that, they're out of stock.

Yup, as they have been at the rain-forest site &, it seems, everywhere else in the U.K. for some time.

 

Hence my post - get 'em while you can (if you want them, of course)

Just bought a set of these. Good tools are always an investment.

The electrical screwdrivers in Halfords are JIS screwdrivers, I got some a couple of years ago and work well.
