If in Europe, make sure to use genuine Philips-point screwdrivers. The 
more common Pozidriv point will damage the screw slots when tightening.

Anywhere in the world, it's worth buying a new screwdriver for the K3, 
because a worn point is the most liable to "cam out" and damage the 
screw slots.

Extra-long and extra-short screwdrivers are occasionally useful when 
working inside the K3, to get a better angle on the screw head.
