Non Slip Screwdriver Tip
Levent Suberk Thu Sep 17, 2020 10:00 am
Non slip screwdriver tip for propeller screws. I wrapped electrical tape on shaft of screwdriver, then placed a piece of clear heat shrink tubing. Cut the tip of tube a little long from the screwdriver tip to cover screw head.

Good idea Levent, but my shaky hands - there he goes with the shaky hands bit again - could defeat that flat blade mod in a second. Thankfully there are Phillips heads too that make life for me so much easier.

Really Bob, with the shaky hands again? 
Regarding the hardware, I have socket head screws
for just about anything related to Cox engines.

Yeah, and I don't even drink. The screws I work with are really small, think 0 and 00 sizes and they are all straight slots. So small that the screw holder pictured will not clasp them. I have several sets of jewelers screwdrivers and I'm thinking about using Levent's solution to hold them.
