Hi Bob, I use ceramic tip screwdrivers that I bought from MCM electronics. They don't carry as many as they used to, and I paid $15.00 each for them, but they work very well. One tip I can give you is to use a regular steel screwdriver first to "loosen" the trimmers(don't try this on the coil slugs!!!) and the ceramics will work OK. This will prolong the life of the plastic ones as well. Good Luck, 73's Ross W1EKG

(like most) All I can find are the flimsy plastic ones or equally flimsy wooden ones which usually last about an hour, I have probably tried all the common ones.
