CX820Joe Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Any recommendations for a decent set of screwdrivers? I've bought a ratchet set with various attachments but specifically struggling to get the Ros Massey Ferguson combine out of its box. I've tried the Phillips head screwdrivers I've got, no good, the ratchet screwdriver is too wide to go into the 'tunnel' the screws are at the end of. One of the miniature screwdrivers seems to stay in the screw head without turning but I can't get enough grip on it. Any ideas greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0025 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Wera kraftform compact are a really good precision set, but can be a little pricey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted May 15, 2022 Author Share Posted May 15, 2022 Thanks Jack, I manage normally it is just this one particular model which will not shift. It may require drastic measures! Attached picture of the plastic base. The screws are in those 'tunnels' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDH Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Also very interested in a set to sort this problem out. Looking at the Wera range there are quite a few options. Is there a particular set that is recommended? Thanks P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Are you sure that the screw heads are the standard Phillips or Pozidrive type heads? I have a number of models, from various manufacturers, where the screw heads are either star bits or even a triangular head (1/43 UH) rather than the normal cross bits?

CX820Joe Posted May 16, 2022 Author Share Posted May 16, 2022 The combine is finally released. They were Philips head, the reason I'd had so much trouble is because the screws appeared to be glued in place. Some WD40 loosened then and I was able to remove the combine. The underneath of it stinks now though 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
