So I needed a couple precision phillips drivers to fix my camera, and after far too much time researching, I actually settled for an 8 pack of wiha for 34 off amazon, as I just couldn't justify the extra money for drivers I know I'll never use.

It seemed to me that this was a darn good price though, so I'm passing it along.

If you were looking for screwdrivers for a camera lens, chance are you need JIS screwdrivers and not Phillips. They look very similar, but Japanese Industrial Standard screws are cut different from Phillips. You might get the Phillips drivers to work, but you risk rounding over the screw heads. Here's an explanation:

The current DIN 5260-PH standard is JIS compatible. This includes wera, wiha, pb swiss, etc. In fact, the bottom of your linked article mentions vessel fits both "phillips" and JIS. Vessel is in fact DIN 5260 as well after more digging.

Wiha are the gold standard in the camera repair business.... never had good luck with the Bahco precision drivers. Tips are just too soft compare to Wiha.
