Yes, use a small screwdriver.   I use one of those small blade screw drivers
with the rotating knob on the  handle end since the plastic alignment tools
distort.  You can find them  in Sears Hardware Stores.  

I did not measure or observe any  noticeable difference using a metal blade
vs a plastic in peak  signal.

Subject: [Hallicrafters] Alignment  Tool

Was trying to do an IF alignment on an S38D, came to the point to  adjust the

trimmers in the metal cans, however the plastic Radio Shack  alignment tools 
were not up to the task. Any recommendations on what is an  approriate device

to adjust the IF with.
Thanks

I work a couple of days a week at the local Sears. We have a whole box of  
Craftsman Jeweler's screwdrivers on clearance for $1.47 each. Very nice quality  
and the lengths vary. Flat tip, Phillips, and Torx....
