Quote from: grog on Wednesday, 11 February  2026, 04:34 PMWe get around 40 same Cockies as you Tony. Mongrel noisy birds, chew everything in sight.Power lines, TV aerials,fences, houses.Chewed all the rods off TV antenna, tree across the road, huge gum, 1/2 destroyed. I chase them away with hose jet.Their horrible noise goes on forever, totally not a fan of them.

Yeah, I've seen the damage they can do.
Seen them destroy tarps to get at grain.

Mine only visit each morning whilst the dogs inside.
He guards his yard like his life depends on it!

They call in if I put food out, not around otherwise.

They sound like our Kea, intelligent & mischievous.  Kea are the worlds only alpine parrot, so no dramas with them round town, but park you car in the mountains while you go hiking & you can come back to it half destroyed, aerials, wiper blades, they've even been known to puncture tires!

They're protected, so ya can't do anything to them & once one of them has learned what a good play thing a car is, it teaches the rest in their group.  They can be right vandals at times.

There's a cock or poo joke in there somewhere.

Forgot I'd stashed these away.
Opened them up and tried them on a couple of jobs on regular screw fittings.

They have a nice quality feel to them and seem a good fit.

I've used Vessel for JIS before but forgot I had these.

(Not quite sure what "Beyond JIS" means.

I have a set of those, but red and grey handles in a hard plastic case. Quality screwdrivers for sure.  They claim the their design of driver head don't 'cam out' of the screw. So far when I have used them that has been the case, so they work well.  The grey handled ones I have are actually impact drivers, abd also work really well on stubborn stuck screws.
I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

My local store had a few versions.
Their red ones were labeled "Jawsfit" and another version was "impacta", I'm not 100% on the exact differences, mine may be the basic version compared to the others, they do sound like the cam out and impact versions.  I'll ask next time I'm in.

I used these to remove and refit the DRZ plastics and a few other easy jobs. They just have a nice positive fit and comfortable easy grip handles.

At the moment I'm using the Vessel screwdrivers instead of my Kincrome ones.

I didn't think it was possible to get a worse looking exhaust than campbells, but it seems I was wrong.

As for the screwdrivers, I believe JIS is a discontinued standard & is now encompassed within DIN. So maybe that's what beyond JIS means.

I was scrolling today and saw these.
You can see where the 1400 motor came from.
