Screwdrivers for reel maintenance

Featured Replies

Wiha tools for me as well. All of their screwdrivers are very well made and fit most any screw you will encounter on a fishing reel.

Wiha are the best, hands down.  You can get away with a precision set from Lowe's or Home Depot.  You want a 1/8" slot, a #0 and #1 Phillips.  For that Daiwa screw that holds the main drive to the frame, apply some heat from a soldering iron to the head to break the thread locker.  10 seconds is plenty.

" Wiha, just get the set."

 

Okay, I love buying tools. 

 

Meanwhile, I've been using a Brownells Magna-Tip Super Set for 20-some years. They replace broken tips. And they can be ground to fit.
