I've done the same as Peter above, reshaping cheap little drivers, or ones that have already been chipped. I don't usually heat treat the head, but use a carborundum stone rather than a file to shape it. I've also found that even less-cheap little screwdrivers benefit from occasional dressing with a stone. Natural stones don't work well for this, but a not-too-fine carborundum stone does. Often the straight slots in camera gear are very thin, and it helps a lot to get the widest possible blade into them. |
