I got the set of Vessel JIS bits and just used them over the weekend. Definitely feel the difference. I too didn’t know they were different until I read it here on the forum. Been working on Japanese bikes and cars for years and have stripped many screws.
I will be purchasing the screwdrivers soon.
Thanks,
Dave

Re: Phillips had screws
A great source of JIS drivers.
A bit pricey, but compared to Snap On or Mac, the price is OK.

I have both the Vessel bits and the screwdrivers and wouldn't trade them for the world!

Re: Phillips had screws
It's funny I just looked at this topic tonight. I coincidentally just received my set of 3 JIS screwdrivers from gofastinnovations today. They are great screwdrivers! The screws that were impossible to remove before on my GL1100 are now no problem with these tools. I'm very thankful I have these in my garage.Mr moe wrote: ↑Tue Jun 26, 2018 3:50 pmA great source of JIS drivers.

Re: Phillips had screws
I just ordered a set of the Vessel ones on Amazon.ca, straight from Tokyo. The reviews are astonishingly good. Looking forward to getting them!

Re: Phillips had screws
Mine from CycleMax are fabulous - the fit to the screw heads is absolutely amazing!
They say 98% of all Hardleys ever made are still on the road..... The other 2% made it home.

Re: Phillips had screws
I ordered mine from ADVMotorrad and they arrived today. I was out mowing my yard when they arrived and had forgotten what I ordered. Just like others have said, the fit is incredible. Wow! Now I have to find some kind of pouch to carry some of them with me on trips.
