The right driver
Japanese bikes use JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) cross-point screws. They may look like Phillips-head screws, but they’re not, and non-JIS drivers will strip them out. Vessel’s premium 8-piece screwdriver kit with impact driver is an indispensable part of our tool set. The Japanese company also makes a 3-piece Tang-Thru set featuring #1, #2 and #3 drivers. Designed so you can strike them with a hammer for extra force, Tang-Thru drivers can also be turned with a wrench for extra torque tightening or loosening. $49.87. MC
