[ARC5] Tool Set goes with which radio?

It's certainly a fair question.  As I conjectured above the photos of 
the tool set, I would have thought that the Bristo wrench and 
screwdriver in the kit would have been part of the basic technician's 
tool issue (naturally including flat blade screwdrivers) - not 
specialized tools for use only on the command sets.  It may have simply 
been a requirement from some nameless bureaucrat...wouldn't have been 
the first time.... :-)

I can think of only a couple of screws on the sets that has a Phillips 
head.  One is a #4 sheet metal screw that retains the little covers and 
block-off plates over unused parts on the control boxes, as well as the 
nameplates on some of them.  The other is a flat head screw that retains 
switches in the control boxes.  Can anyone recall any other applications?
