+1 for the JIS screwdrivers. They'll change your life for the better.

[VladTepes]

Anyone know a good source of JIS screwdrivers in Aussie land?

[black14]

Got mine from Amazon Mike - eBay has them too - Vessel brand, with the impact drivers. Bloody awesome piece of kit!
You can buy individually or in a set.

[grog]

Agree, JIS are great. So is Vessel.

look the same Dave except the ones I saw were impact drivers, they turn 12 degrees with each tap.

You get 2 (PZ2, PZ3) Pozidriv
and 2 (2, 3) POSSIBLY JIS

I say possibly JIS because it is not clear from the info and pics!

These guys here are quite a bit clearer but these are not Impacta (still Vessel though): https://ruggedroads.co.uk/epages/00cbb604-5d1c-407e-8207-580e14387ec5.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/00cbb604-5d1c-407e-8207-580e14387ec5/Products/%2212705/6/8%22

[Mister Fishfinger]

Without wishing to be rude to someone's favourite tool, there's a world of difference between Laser and Vessel. I've got various Laser tools and they do the job but they are cheap. Vessel on the other hand are proper Japanese gear and you'll know as soon as you get them in your hands.

Yes it's a little bit more money but not a lot. Worth it in my opinion.

[KiwiCol]

Thanks for the heads up Fishy & the endorsement of Vessel.  Always good to hear from first hand experience.

[grog]

Sunflag, Hozan and Laser also make great JIS drivers. All Japanese. The impact Vessel ticks my box, just a great idea.

You definitely get what you pay for when it comes to tools  , if you're a professional it's tax deductable  anyway. I'm an EX-Snap-on Tools Franchisee.
