Which screwdriver is best for camera repair
I am trying to change the lithium battery in my Minolta 7000, but is
having a tough time removing three of the six screws. I used a 00 philip screwdriver. The size of the driver seems about right, but it doesn't quite fit the screw. What the trick? Is there a special screwdriver just for camera work? James |

James All the drivers I use are ground to fit the screws I have to remove so I have a large number of drivers. It is possible there is a Loc-Tite type material holding the screw. For screws that are very tight I use Wiha because they are easy on my hand. Check out Micro-Tools.com. Mike |

Which screwdriver is best for camera repair
Ed Romney used to sell a Vigor set, I think Jules Borel still has
them. It's impotant to learn to use a sharpening stone, and do so, with straight blade drivers. Exactly like gunsmithing but on smaller scale. Fargo probably has the ones you can get at Sears-good but not watchmaker grade. |
