JCIS screwdrivers, where to buy?

[Domdom]

I’m after a decent set of JCIS screwdrivers but can’t find anything except cheap junk which will undoubtedly mush the screws. These are to service a Nikon camera lense, hence JCIS, Japanese Camera Industry Standard.

Anyone know where, or who makes such a thing?

thanks.

I know of and have JIS never heard of JCIS

I bought this set of JIS a few years back but that may not be what you are looking for. The two silver ones are impact/twist units but obviously not use for cameras.

I can second Vessel drivers, they may cost a bit more, but worth it.

These aren't too bad, bought a set for home as couldn't justify another Snap-on set for now and then use.

Ordered that vessel set from Amazon. Never heard of the make but they do seem to get decent reviews.

All for a lens that has fungus. Well I’ve killed the fungus with a UV lamp but now have to clean out the spores or it will come back.

Thanks for the input chaps.

A friend of mine does a few lens repairs on his youtube channel

I’ve had a Vessel set for use on small Jap Horticultural engines etc fo about 6 years and they are fine. A 40+ year old Vessel impact driver is still performing well removing bottom blade screws on commercial mower units and has outlasted several Snap - on ones.

Vessel is what you want. The TD-56 and others like it aren't the best example of Vessel quality but are still good.

I've been happy with Vessel screwdrivers too
