What's the Japanese equivalent to a #2 Phillips head screwdriver?

[Fritz The Cat]

Searched for "Japanese screw driver" and variants on Amazon and came up with gibberish. Either amazon doesn't carry them or I don't know what they're called.

[Valker]

They are called JIS-04 or something very similar. Amazon does sell them. They are expensive.
Japanese Industrial Standard is what it stands for I think....

Amazon has these:
Hozan JIS-4 JIS Screwdriver Set (NEW 3rd. Gen)

Thanks, gonna order a set. Tired of tearing up screw drivers and screws. Just trashed a Craftsman because it didn't quite fit the screw. Funny how it was the screw driver that broke and not the screw. Do craftsman tools still have a life time warranty?

Yes, craftsman tools still have a life time warranty.
If you are changing the brake and clutch fluid, why not change the screws to button head screws.
I did and I am pleased with the change.

Nice find, tkylli. I think I paid $49 for a three size 'Metric Motorcycle' set from.

If you look around (especially at the counter where the really cheap tools are) at
Advance or whereever, and get one of those screwdriver handles with
a big tray of bits, at least one of those bits will be perfect.

I bought the same set.  Big difference!  Another site is http://www.vesseltools.com/  (which is the brand rjrcooltools sells).

Ha Ha, how did you know this is what provoked this thread.

I found that by going through all my #2 philips, I found several that fit great, one is a Klein 602-10, one was a craftsman stubby that fits so perfectly that it will hang out of the side screws in the carb linkage covers on the downside of the bike,,, point being that I am not sure how close the philips specs are followed by manufactures, either US or Japanese.
