Screw Drivers

What type of screwdriver heads are needed for the SR5? Maybe Phillips and straight?

 

I would imagine there will be Trox also.

 

I hear ya, just got cut off by a driver merging onto the freeway this morning.

 

Torx of various sizes.

 

I'm always yelling this at others on the road.

 

Exactly ... buy a mini-rack from Home Depot ... everything from 8 to 55. The bed alone has 50 (55?) as well as 40, 10, ...

 

Hahaha

 

Thank you Mr. Bill

 

Torx and phillips/JIS

I use socketed versions and power drills, I rarely use torx screw drivers.

 

Same. Most torx is torqued beyond hand screwing.


I just pulled the seats in my other car, and I discovered that apparently there's a such thing as bizarro-torx. I had to run to the shop and buy one E12 socket, and a 3/8 to 1/2 adapter so I could put the breaker bar to it.

The guy was like, really? E12? What the hell are you doing?

 

It would help if you gave us more info. What are you wanting the "screwdrivers" to be used for or for what types of repairs/maintenance. Screwdrivers work for small items but most maintenance on trucks and cars are best handled with wrenches. Such as ratchet wrenches, sockets, open end and box wrenches. Not gonna undo lug nuts and do oil changes with screwdrivers.

 

Vessel Brand, J.I.S. screw driver set. Trust me. Well worth the cost if you are doing any work on Japanese type vehicles.

 

Use JIS, do not use Phillips. Simple as.

 

I should have been more specific. Thanks for pointing that out. I would say more maintenance than anything else.

 

Look at the heads and you will get an idea to what kind screwdriver to use.

JIS drivers will keep you out of trouble.

 

Harbor Freight has this set on sale through 8/18/2024. I am personally waiting for the HF Labor Day sale.

 

Japanese vehicles do not use Phillips head screws. They use JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) There is a difference, ask an old motorcycle mechanic that stripped the heads out of Japanese bike screws over the years.
