    Screwdrivers to fit most models

    I would suggest you add a JIS screwdriver set to your Tools, since most, if not all, of the cross-point screws used in these models are made to that standard. Using a Phillips type will strip the heads, while the proper JIS type just fits.

      Hey Wintrsol,

      I have a set of Stanley Tools metric jewelry srewdrivers and there is a #1 and #0 JIS phillips in there. Thought that might help you out. It would be nice if Motion would carry a set in the future. Good flying.

          I've never found JIS screwdrivers in a store in the US; I got my sets online. I just think that, if MRC stocked them, more would notice that they exist, and there would be fewer complaints of heads stripping out of cheap screws. Also, it would be a convenient source, rather than trusting fleabay sellers.

            The place I purchased mine was Ace Hardware but I'll bet you could find them at True Value Hardware also. I'm in Chicago and those are the biggest hardware stores here. Good luck
