webrunner5 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Well it all comes down to what you pay for. Cheap is crap, big Dollar equals Big Results. Walmart stuff, and well top end stuff. Your call. enny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirozina Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 You need a set of JIS screwdrivers. These and helicoil grease can be purchased at Microtools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimor Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Ask Tito. I would bet he spends the day taking apart old lenses just for fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsenroc Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I have been using Wiha screw drivers for about 7 years, they haven't failed yet and I have less than 10 stripped screws. I'm quite impressed actually. The old screws can be very weak, if the bit doesn't fit the screw very well, it may easily strip. You can feel it when it's about to turn or strip, take it slow and have different sets of screw drivers for tolerance. Fitting the bit and the screw is quite crucial if you need to reuse the screw. Use some WD-40 or screw loosener if working with rusty screws, it helps a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
