I ordered JIS driver bits earlier this week but it seems there is a shortage of them at the moment. I suspect it will be close to the end of the month before I receive my order.
The Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) was created (in part) because there was such a wide tolerance variance between one manufacturer and another. The same would be true of Phillips screwdrivers and hex bits. I can take a handful of Phillips hex bits or screwdrivers and only one or two will fit somewhat well in a JIS screw head.
I have read several threads where forum members have successfully removed the throttle plate screws using a modified Phillips screwdriver. I plan on taking this route now but I would like to know what make of screwdriver has been used in the past. If I know what has been used successfully, I can hopefully duplicate that success myself.
Thanks,
Wayne
