Interesting, so that explains why most other screws on the throttle body don’t have the dimple!

I’m not sure, all i know is my Phillips screw drivers were destroying the heads, stopped messing around and bought the vessel JIS 4 pack on Amazon delivered in less than a day, and it popped them right off with no slippage(yes I’ve also heard all new screwdrivers are JIS compliant which I...

Just bought a new throttle body assembly for my 01 2uzfe equipped Toyota. The two screws for the pcv valve are the supposedly old style JIS screws with the dots on them, well the brand new one bought in 2024. Still uses the screws with the dimples on them. Whoever has said new JIS screws don’t...

So hopefully someone can chime in. Don’t have time for ordering stuff online unfortunately, and i am dumbfounded that I can find JIS screwdrivers in store anywhere around anywhere. And sure, new wera and other high end brands may be compatible, but I don’t see any of those in store anywhere. I...

People post comparisons online of Phillips vs JIS screwdrivers and they all say “here you can tell the clear difference” yet I can’t see any differences

This is the Lexus branded screwdriver made in Japan. Look like jis?

Although my rotor screws didn’t have the dot usually associated with identifying JIS screws but I know they are JIS which is weird

The driver you linked me is a Phillips though??? These are old school 90s Lexus JIS rotor screws I need to get off

I just wasn’t sure if since this is a made In Japan 1990s “Lexus” branded screwdriver if it would just a JIS by default

I need a jis screwdriver, because all my Phillips are stripping out my Honda and Lexus rotor screws. How can i tell if my screwdriver I have right now is JIS? I found this screwdriver in my 1994 ls400 trunk from the factory tool kit, is it safe to assume this is JIS? I’m having a hard time...

I believe the new ones are 120 tooth

Unfortunately the new Carlyle locking flex heads are absolutely garbage. The old style was way better

I would love for gearwrench to be the same as Carlyle but they are not. You can just tell by looking at them even the sockets. Plus it’s china vs Taiwan. Why do people think this? Were they the same in the past ?? Also, I find it insane no one carries JIS driver bits in store since, well, you...

My main thing I like about Carlyle besides the looks of them, is that I don’t like buying tools online, I like to buy them in person. So this is why these online brands people recommend to me I don’t really care about. And Home Depot, harbor freight, autozone, and maybe a few others is basically...

Gotcha, thanks

the inside is like 3/4 of an inch deep whereas the Carlyle’s go the whole length down, another example of how icon and Carlyle sockets are not the same thing lol. And the chrome looks amazing on the Carlyle

And here’s the inside of the icons… what the hell is that bs???? It’s not even a true deep socket, doesn’t seem good for lug nuts

And that’s exactly why I drive what I drive! Awesome

The icon set I just got had a terrible chrome finish (sockets) . And they’re key differences between the two and I’m actually curious if this is a big deal in a socket. Here is a picture. The icons have a way shorter area of grab on a nut or bolt whereas the Carlyle goes all the way down, this...

Carlyle is made by Kabo and infar, gearwrench is Apex
