Just burred my clutch reservoir screws using a JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) screw driver, damn! I bought the JIS mainly for that job (bleeding clutch & brakes). I'll easy out and replace, anyone else have issues with these?
I just found out a few years ago myself. Once you use a JIS driver in the screw it's amazing how well they fit!Thank You for this! Been wrenching on Japanese bikes for many years and never knew this!!!
Yes, sort of unknown, I went to Lowes and HD looking for them and nobody heard of'em. Seems like you only need them for this application that I know of...Thank You for this! Been wrenching on Japanese bikes for many years and never knew this!!!
That should be the real deal. Bummer about it camming out and damaging the screws. I have resorted to an impact driver on occasion for screws that were just freaking tight.
That's standard and pozidriv, but you still need a "JIS" screwdriver. https://www.amazon.com/Vessel-Megadora-900-2x100-Screwdriver/dp/B000TG8OTY/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1548005859&sr=1-1&keywords=vessel+"jis"+bitsThanks to this thread I obtained this right here is only $13 and some change on Amazon.

I'm not sure if Vessel makes standard screwdrivers or not. I would think they would. Usually when they are JIS it will say so in the ad. I coudn't find anything in this amazon ad that said JIS. Regular Phillis screwdrivers come in sizes 1, 2 & 3 also. Maybe the (+) sign means JIS, I don't know.Confused? Is what I bought JIS bits? Thank You in advance!
Edit: 3 of the bit heads are JIS sizes 1, 2, 3 . 2 of the bit ends are pozidrive and 1 end is standard/flat
on the Q & A section further down the page, It mentions about what sizes they are.I'm not sure if Vessel makes standard screwdrivers or not. I would think they would.
