Hello everyone,
So, I'm looking for something like this: http://www.koocell.com/images/products_images/p/kc03653_p.jpg
That product, however, is TORX. I have one like it for hex and it's great -- all-in-one, 90-degree torque.
I'm having trouble finding that style of set for precision screw drivers. I can't imagine they're not made. Does anyone know? Where are they sold? I must have them.
Thanks.

Hmm, I searched for an hour and saw nothing of the sort. Though, I did insist on "precision screwdriver" as part of my search.
I can't tell from the picture there, are those _precision_ screwdrivers? I take it "2.0, PH00, 3.0, PH0, 0, Y0, U4" refers to the bit specifications, but this one, for instance, doesn't list any of those specs for its screwdrivers: 6PCS PRECISION SCREWDRIVER, 00372 Manufacturer -- ASCCO INTERNATION CO., LTD. is a leading supplier and exporter of 6PCS PRECISION SCREWDRIVER, 00372 in Taiwan, Asia (http://www.ascco.com/detail/94125/94125.html)
It only lists the millimeter sizes. But, are they the same? I certainly don't know. Do you?
Thanks for your response.

I have a background in hardware retail and though I don't recognize all the terms used for the bits on the folding set shown I do know that PH0 and PH00 are precision sizes.They refer to phillips #0 and #00 which are small phillips sizes.Some of the other referenced sizes are also precision.Also the site itself seems to be geared toward watch repair and jewelry work which supports the tool being precision.Note that terminology varies from brand to brand and item to item so using other terms might help you find more results.
The set shown actually has sizes smaller than the set you found,which is a common low end set found in many hardware stores etc under a variety of labels and often as part of bargain bins etc.

Hey, thanks spdavid. That is helpful.
Do you happen to know of some reference site that lists these sort of specifications for comparison and such?

Not offhand but I'd bet somewhere out there are some.Try googling various terms like hardware specifications or tool specifications etc and see what you find.
