Where is the best place to buy clutch head screwdrivers? The ones I purchased were of poor quality and sizes did not match up. I’m using screwdrivers on my 1950 4400.

I got mine from Classic Parts. In hindsight would have gotten the ones that attach to the ratchet. Although I haven’t had any clutch drive screws I haven’t been able to remove, I suspect once I get to the bodywork, the Clutch Drive Socket Set may have more power to remove the screws. I will probably be buying a set of the sockets.

My only issue with them is that they're a touch too long. A little shorter would help with leverage. I may whack mine down a bit.

What I would like to find is a 1/4" drive clutch head sockets. I don't need 3/8" drive "horsepower" for these fasteners. With 1/4" drive, I could use my 1/4" ratchet plugged into the handle of my 1/4" drive nut driver. This would provide a great amount of control while removing these fasteners.

I bought the "long" clutch head socket set and it performs poorly, Since then I have purchased used Proto Tools clutch head sockets off Ebay and although I had to purchase from more than one seller to get what I needed, the results were worth it. The Proto clutch head sockets fit the bolts like a glove, very obvious improvement.

I may get a set of those. Would work nicely in a 1/4" hex drive impact driver I have. Impact would also help knock the rust loose.

I prefer the sockets simply for the option to use in either a ratchet or cordless impact. Haven't yet tried these but will update the thread with anything material.
