    Vessel JIS Screwdrivers from revlimiter.net




    Don't know what a JIS screwdriver is? Go here and read. Pay no attention to the robot pix.

    Cliff notes:
    • Designed to grip a screw instead of camming out when force is applied.
    • Made by Vessel, the company that helped create the JIS standard
    • Multiple custom sets available - you can only find them at revlimiter.net
    • Not just for Miatas. They work perfectly on ANY Japanese car or motorcycle.



    Really, this photo tells the whole story. Standard Phillips on the left, JIS on the right. This is a huge difference.





    Set 1: The Miata Repair Kit. It's a five piece set with the essentials. You'll have a hard time finding a cross point screw that this set won't work on.



    Set 2: Bucky's Toolkit. It takes the Miata kit and upgrades it with three slot head drivers to make an eight piece set. Why? Because it's a bummer to go back to the $2 Harbor Freight drivers for that random slot head screw after getting used to the awesome Megadora handles.



    Set 3: Sharka's Toolkit. This is Bucky's kit with an added Impacta P.2 driver and a ratcheting handle with four drivers. That's a fourteen piece kit.



    There may or may not be toy photos on my store illustrating the tool features.

    Go get them! I love these drivers. I'm excited to sell them again.

    nothing wrong with MP soundwave. But back on topic... I've never heard of JIS so I might have to look into these.

    Dew eet! You'll thank me someday. I can't believe I've worked on JDM cars for nearly 20 years without these.

    My buddy is a dealer for MAC Tools and sells Vessel on the side, they are the best!! I got my first set back in 2000 when I found them in Japan at Super AutoBacs, they are legit tools for sure!!

    side note, do you have the bits that remove the TINY screws on the gauge faces? Those are very easy to strip!! I have hand tools not the bits, so I might have to buy these now, LOL

    The #0 is perfect for the gauge screws. I've been using them for a week. SO much better than Phillips.

    However... the JIS bits are sold out. Looks like I should consider keeping these in stock.

    Thanks for making this a success everyone! I'll update this thread when I have more and they're a regular item.

    JIS Screwdriver Bits are BACK!



    The group buy was a success, so these are now a standard product. And, as a bonus, I can offer them for a bit less than the group buy price since I was able to get a better bulk rate.

    Even better, I now have additional sizes of driver bits. I have a bag with "large" P.1 and P.2 bits as well as a P.3 bit.






    Thanks for making this a success everyone!
