Correct Screwdrivers

[Bindlestiff]

OK guys, here is a good one to add to the FAQs. If we can put together a good answer to this, I'll post it in the FAQ page. You know, clean the screw slot and grind one to fit or do the hollow ground commercial sets work out of the box. How does one know when a screwdriver fits the way it should? .... etc, whatever else I don't know to ask.

I have never taken a Parker apart and do not think I ever will, so I am the last person to answer this one. But, this isn't the first time it has come up on this forum so ..... can someone pull together a comprehensive FAQ answer on the topic?

I have 2 identical sets of hollow ground screwdrivers that I bought about 30 years ago. I do not hesitate to hit the grinder with one to make it fit properly. It really paid off all these years! Cheers!

the nice thing about the Brownells set is that you can get the wheel with it to grind them correctly and do a custom fit, and you're just doing a tip, you can get another of the same size if you need it.

I am no expert, but, with hollow ground parallel sides, I like a snug fit side to side and very little if any gap in the length of the slot.
