Low reactance screwdrivers?
(1/3) > >>
0culus:
Any good recommendations for a quality set of small low reactance screwdrivers? I've been looking for some for things like aligning radio IF stages and oscilloscope compensation. I've looked at ceramic ones, but mostly what I've seen is cheap junk on amazon that has a lot of negative reviews about breakage.
bd139:
The ceramic ones always break and the plastic ones too.  I just use a metal flat blade now and pull it out and recheck the IF cans. If you smash the core it's game over though but I broke one with a ceramic driver too.

The ceramic drivers I had were really expensive (£50 .~ $70 /set) from a respectable supplier.
unitedatoms:
you can make a screw driver from a pcb material. either FR4 or this macabre like old brown material used in old radios.

edit: found correct name. it is phenolic cotton plate for making gears
Bud:
I have a genuine HP (not that Agilent/Keysight rubbish) alignment tool which is simply a small flat metal blade molded into the round hard plastic shaft, the whole thing maybe 3 inch long. The blade extends from the shaft by maybe 1.5-2mm or so. Works a treat.
helius:
Is the normal PA66 glass-filled nylon adjustment tool (Vishay Spectrol 008T000) not suitable? It's cheap and rugged.
