JIS Screwdriver Set Recommendations

If this isn't the right place, please delete mods.

I'm looking to buy a simple 3 or 4 piece JIS screwdriver set. Looking on Amazon the reviews are a bit alarming about quality and most importantly: If they are actually JIS or not.

So I'm hoping someone on TW has a set that they really recommend.

Thanks in advance.

 

Vessel Tools. www.vesseltools.com. Straight from the manufacturer- I’ve used them for years and they are well made and real JIS drivers. Highly recommend.

 

Funny I bought my first ones from McMaster-Carr they were Vessel

Thought I would try Amazon turns out it was the same brand shipped from Japan.

This was a few years back Amazon Vendor may have changed.

 

I too have Vessel screwdrivers and would recommend them.

 

If space is a concern (for carrying an assortment of tools on the trail), you can get just the Vessel 1/4" hex drive bits

$23 BW-15 Gold Bit

https://www.amazon.com/Vessel-BW-15/dp/B000AQMJEE/ for use with the excellent zero-backlash Rolgear ratcheting screwdriver.

 

Did you ever find a set to go with?

 

I have Vessel Megadora set. Life changing when working on Japanese stuff. The difference is amazing.

 

Where are Vessel tools manufactured?

 

I just bought them individually here: https://www.vesseltools.com/handtools/screwdrivers/megadora/900-series-detail#dimension-chart

All the ones on Amazon now have the JawsFit (teeth) on the heads of the tools. I've read a lot of reviews that absolutely do not like them. So I found the standard pieces on that website.

This is a set that mostly has thin shanks, if you don't care about that: https://www.vesseltools.com/handtools/screwdrivers/megadora/900-910-kit-7-detail

Good to know! Thanks!
