Thanks,

Reading is fundamental. I found the answer to my question by just reading a couple of earlier posts. I'll bother y'all with a real question some other time.

Clutch head screwdrives are available, there's a tool store locally that sells Channelock brand. Also, you can get them to fit 1/4" drivers, which lets you put them on a ratchet. If I had it to do over again, I would buy just the bits and forget the handled screwdrivers.

However, some auto parts stores, such as NAPA, usually have the handled drivers. They are rather obsolete, but the tools are available. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 438 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 438 | NAPA does sell the largest size, but it may make sense to get a full set for drivers. If you're just getting started, you're going to put some miles on each of them! | | | | | Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 1,571 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 1,571 | Do any screws on our trucks use the smallest clutch-head size? I have two sets of three bits (the largest isn't included in either), and the smallest never gets used. My family has 4 various AD trucks around, and I have never used the little clutch-head bit, only the three larger sizes. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 1,554 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 1,554 | I bought a set of clutchhead screwdrivers fron Chevy Duty for around $15.Golden State,and Brothers also sell them for about the same money. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 438 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 438 | GMC Panel-
I understand that small clutch head screwdrivers can also work for some carb adjustments, Holley I think. | | |
