Failed: Screwdriver tips withered by Japanese carburetor screws

Bought for specialty work with Japanese motorcycle carburetor. They are perfect for JIS screws. However, with the first use, the screws did not move, and the tips of the #0 and #00 crosses simply deformed and began to loosen. If you need JIS screwdrivers for a Japanese motorcycle, keep looking - these screwdriver bits are not strong enough.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Available in white only.

Allows you to disassemble Japanese camera lenses that you cannot reassemble.

What you need to disassemble camera lenses. Two important things: First, hide them from everyone else because they don't care that these are JIS screwdrivers and not Phillips and will screw up trying to remove the Phillips screws. Second, just because you can disassemble a Japanese camera lens doesn't mean you can reassemble it. I'm just saying.

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • Functionality

Screwdrivers are soft and cheap

I bought this Hozan JIS-4 JIS screwdriver set to have good screwdrivers for my computers. I was interested in them because they were JIS and from Japan, which usually means quality. The size of the set is exactly what I wanted but they turned out quite soft. I used them to move the inside of a computer into a new case. At the end of this simple job, which only took about an hour, the end of the screwdriver I used had already broken off due to its softness. I do not recommend these screwdriversโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • old

Good tool for the money!

I ordered this set to meet my growing need for different types of screwdrivers. The JIS Phillips is fairly common in Japan, and I even bought a box of Taiwan-made wood screws that turned out to require a JIS Phillips screwdriver. (Japanese Industrial Standard) These Hozan tools are an adequate screwdriver with a comfortable practical grip. So far they have met my needs and I see no reason why they should not continue to do so. However, if a person needs a strong screwdriver, I would suggestโ€ฆ

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • Updates

Excellent JIS

Picked up a Japanese dirt bike and read about the difference between Phillips and JIS screwdrivers. Remembering how I disassembled a set of Kawasaki carburetors and removed 1/3 of all the bolts, I decided that $20 was a small price to pay to avoid that heartache. It just so happened that I was right. These screwdrivers are a perfect match for these almost zero backlash screws. I compared #2 (the most common size on this bike) to every Phillips screwdriver I had and there was no doubt that JISโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Screwdriver Set Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Incredible price

Matching screwdrivers for Japanese products that use Phillips screws

probably not available. The Japanese use and can use the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) screw. They often differ from Phillips screws by the small dot on the screw head between the two crossed grooves. Why is it important? If you use Philips screwdrivers for these screws and require a lot of torque to loosen or screw in, you are likely to damage the notch and make it difficult to remove the screw afterwards. You may have to resort to drilling. This screwdriver set is designed for JISโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Negative impression

Are they really that special?

These screwdrivers are from Japan, decent quality, good for ordinary plastic handle screwdrivers. They will be strong enough to take apart carburetors probably every day. I bought these after getting very frustrated with stripped screws and reading a few places online that the screws on Japanese carburetors require this type of specially made screwdriver. While this is theoretically true, I'm not sure they are extremely unique. Compared to a household handyman or a Stanley screwdriver, they are

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • so far so good
