Title: Dam Quick screws
Post by: quang tran on June 11, 2024, 05:58:47 AM
All Dam Quick use flat screw driver but normally I find It's too thick to fit in slot , using smaller size so it fit but head is too small easy to damage screws . So far I have to grind off the tip to make it fit in slot , what is correct size screw driver to use

A decent set of hollow-ground gunsmithing screwdrivers will cover all your needs.

The exact size screwdriver is needed so as to not booger the screw heads.

A good handle also is helpful for removing screws that were last tightened 50 years ago.

Best,

Fred

Hey Quang,

I have been using this set from Wheeler (https://www.amazon.com/Wheeler-2023-89pc-ProfGunsmith-Screwdriver/dp/B0BRTCMT14/ref=sr_1_6?crid=3ADJKTMLYGLBM&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.e4LdfFhcblxRKmWvag0Mjp6TMw1Meff_TkeoQyg5vgU_XglAr-zdb_fkCHAqjt_Q6h2kCVu0aF4FvsH3dxRWPS7Mtzl6YwBgJ91YdvdXHb7tFBdHub0yANbh_I7Y-6_Xfc2LaUMmXnJP1M0VI5o8gGIMkEeDcBdD-D8iLUg0a5MOX7yRaMk5dn7t7r7l6wpRMHwtpCnKvfXOYtYcYdJgpfVp4WG7IN-5sVJtRoAbTj0zoYcWMlb70JZftRE4AEuqomRLNWQ70FIrE5pKMPE0ilwb1KcwGVjB-6bvpi4YG5k.qUlqKpatfNLz-OUUAzpPmFD09owHQ3bWHblANLWHLuU&dib_tag=se&keywords=wheeler+gunsmithing+screwdriver+set&qid=1718157198&sprefix=wheeler+gunsmithing+sc%2Caps%2C166&sr=8-6) and have had no complaints.  I bought it originally to work on firearms, but I have been using it more so now for reels. Wheeler also has a newer set out now.

That set you have looks like it will do the job.  Grizzley Industrial had a nice affordable set about a year ago that several of us took advantage of, but it looks like it is no longer available.  The proper sized tips will make quite a difference; I think you will be pleased with them. - john
