Hozan Hozan JIS-4 JIS Screwdriver Set (3rd Gen)

I use these when I tore apart the carburetors on my 1984 Honda nighthawk 650 and my 1986 Honda Rebel 250. These are absolutely a necessity if you're working on any Japanese bike. Those are not Philips screws that you're looking at!!!! They are jis!!! Do not strip your JIS screws by using Philips screwdrivers you will mess them up. These are cheap and they work awesome it's worth the investment especially if you're working on your own bike.

After wrecking all the screws on a Mikuni carb, I decided I needed a real set of JIS screwdrivers. These are great, easy to grip, and they actually work on your japanese motorcycle! So happy I don't have to pay extortionate prices for OEM fasteners after I butcher a valuable NOS Keihin or Mikuni anymore!

JIS- NOT Phillips. for jap Mc screws

Nice set to work Kawasaki 750. No worries on stripping heads with these. Good fit.

Needed if you are working on carbs, especially jet ski carbs. Prevents stripping screws which saves time and money.

A JIS screw is not a Phillips, and you will eventually strip them using a Phillips head driver. These are difficult to find in stores, but are invaluable to any one maintaining japanese dirt bikes IMO

These screwdrivers are from Japan, decent quality, and comfortable for basic plastic handle screwdrivers. These will be plenty durable enough for taking carburetors apart, probably every day. I bought these after becoming very frustrated with stripped screws and reading multiple places online that screws on Japanese carburetors required this specially made screwdriver type. While this is theoretically true, I'm not convinced these are extremely unique. Compared to your household Craftsman or Stanley screwdriver, they are quite different. But the 1 and 2 size screwdrivers are nearly identical to the PH1 and PH2 bits I got in a cheap Chinese Craftsman driver bit set. So I don't know that what you're getting here is the best value for the money. I used the cheap PH bits with my impact on a set of carbs and didn't strip a single screw. These were useful for the hard to reach, small screws though. I think the impact part is the key because I've extracted several screws that were completely stripped by others with one zip from an impact.

And no, the handles do not feel like they are made of cheap plastic as one negative review stated. My husband checked them out and said they were good drivers and the handles were well made for a set of drivers in this price range. This is a set of smaller screwdrivers manufactured to Japanese Industry Standards (JIS) that does not contain any longer or thicker drivers. My brother-in-law suggested this set to me to use with my mid-level higher-end sewing/embroidery machine which is made in Japan. I tested the drivers on a few screws and they fit and worked perfectly. Since they are not magnetized, he also suggested an inexpensive magnetizer. which I also purchased. If someone is in need of a set of JIS screwdrivers for repairing bikes and motorcycles made in Japan one should put out the money to buy a good Vessel brand or other more expensive and extensive set of drivers. For my sewing machine this set was just right.
