 Sounds like a miniture "spud wrench" lol-Steve On Friday, March 4, 2022, 06:07:56 PM EST, hwhall at compuserve.com <hwhall at compuserve.com> wrote:  I've been doing something similar with some ex-dental tools. The straight pointy probe one will wedge into that little hole well enough to get the screw started and run in but of course I have to swap for a real screwdriver to finish the task.

I was just faced with getting those little things back in the jack where they belonged. Somewhere in the warehouse (aka garage that hasn't seen a car in 30 years) I have the righteous screw driver that was acquired back when I was gifted the plugs.  Of course it wasn't in the box of plugs. I discovered that the pointy thing (awl?) included in a promotional jeweler's screw driver set worked fairly well in getting those little rascals started.to where you can switch to a normal small screw driver.  And now after the fact I'm thinking perhaps a round tooth pick might also work, maybe even better. -- -------The above comments or recommendations are SWAG.
