[Elecraft] Screw Types

[Steve Baum]

Dick,

The absolute best screwdrivers are made by Wiha.  For a #1 Phillips look at
Item 3110 at this link: http://www.wihatools.com/300seri/311serie.htm. Or
splurge a bit and buy one of their many sets. Also look at the "precision"
series which are made for more delicate work. Also available on Amazon.

73,
