JIS screwdriver source?

[Westly]

Anybody know who carries JIS "Phillips" screwdrivers, the plastic handle kind, or better yet JIS bits for a magnetic handle?

JIS is like Phillips but the main difference is the inside angle where the X lines intersect are 90 degrees, instead of being slightly curved. The screws that go with them sometimes have a little dot stamped into the head.

I looked for a set locally and couldnt find what I wanted. I removed a bit of the tip from an old craftsman phillips set (1,2,3) and they fit fine. You dont have to remove much.

I've gotten my Vessel JIS screwdrivers from here.

I have the same ones that k-os has and couldn't be happier. I like them better than my Snapon screwdrivers.

mine came from McMaster Carr were about half the price of k-os' link.

I've wondered if many or most or all screwdrivers made in Japan use the JIS pattern. If so, it might just be a matter of finding bits or screwdrivers that are "Made In Japan".
