I need to take some microscopes apart. The screws are all slotted, but
a) have very fine slots and
b) are not tiny e.g. from 4 - 8 or 10mm
The screws are generally pretty soft, and chrome plated, so they damage easily. The blades have to go all the way into the slots. Most don't go in.
I think I'm going to have to grind larger screwdrivers down, unless anyone knows a supplier?
They need to be full screwdrivers, not replaceable insert type, because of access.
