[QUOTE="BruceH, post: 3552659, member: 106398"] [b]Screw Driver Update[/b] After my first pass of adjusting the hinge as documented above, I did search for a better screw driver and ended up ordering one off eBay. Manufacturer: Wiha Precision series Blade Width: 1.5mm Model: 26015 (for 260 series, size 1.5mm) Number on Handle 260 (for 260 series) Made in Germany [ATTACH]622813._xfImport[/ATTACH] This one is much better than what I used before. There is still some play due to the screw slot being wider than the blade, but it is much better than before and should work The eBay vendor I ordered from is KCToolco located in Kansas. I ordered in the evening and it was shipped the next morning via 1st Class USPS. Their price went up a little after I ordered. Here is a list of sellers: [url]http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.XWiha+26015.TRS0&_nkw=Wiha+26015&_sacat=0[/url] (If clicking on the above link takes you to the Viglink page, scroll down and click on "Why am I seeing this" in small blue type. On the next page, click on "to opt out click [U]here[/U]". Then click on the Disable Viglink orange button. Now come back to this post and click on the link again) The next size up from Wiha is 1.8 mm but I suspect that would be to wide to fit the recessed hole.
