I don't see a way to buy from them directly. Also see no prices. We have to
find a local representative business & order them there?

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.

You know the ones with the hole in the middle used on

telephone/telegraph type plugs.  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.
