Title: Got what I paid for....
Post by: WLzM1A on May 27, 2024, 11:53:44 PM
  Well, ordered a cheap set of carburetor adjustment tools, the screwdriver type, and got exactly what I paid for.  Can anyone recommend a good quality set that they have had good luck with.  I don't mind paying for good stuff.......if it is good stuff.  Thanx in advance ya'll

All my small screwdrivers are Whia. Made in Germany.

I ordered a cheap set from ebay and it works fine for lawn and garden equipment that the tools fit. For my chainsaws that just need a small flat screwdriver I use an orange stihl one and the other one is from Bailey's with a magnet on the end. The Baileys one also works good for cleaning out oily sawdust from t-27 screws heads from my Stihl saws.

What happened to the adjustment tools?  I've had a 'cheap' set for years and haven't had any problems so far.

I have a cheap set also, and I find them "acceptable". Fit/finish could be better, but everything works, and it's all low torque stuff, so steel quality is less important.

They give out free mini stihl screwdrivers at my dealer
Perhaps ask you local stihl or husky store?

I have until last weekend gotten away with just a flathead as well.  Came upon a crab with a spline pattern and got stuck.  I got the cheap tools from china.  They work and would probably never get torn up, but they just feel like toys. I can live with them....or at least get used to having to.

There are a ton of these tool sets on Amazon.  You may choose to buy them elsewhere, but check out the prices and the ratings.  They will tell you which are the quality sets.
