Hand Tools
Screw
Drivers
A variety of screwdrivers should
be in every Jeeper's garage. Screwdrivers have their
obvious purposes but can also be used as many other things.
Examples of alternative screwdriver use; make-shift pry bar,
electrical terminal jumper, stake, chisel, scraper, etc...
Using a screwdriver for another purpose can sometimes damage
the tool but we all do it.

extra long sizes and many head varieties possible.

Recommendation
The more you
have the easier you will find the right one for the job.
Short lengths to long strong screwdrivers should cover all
the bases. Torx and Hex/Allen head drivers would be
the most common to find on a Jeep with exception to the
Phillips and Flat. We find it easy to purchase a
screwdriver set from one of the many quality tool
manufacturers.

Screwdrivers
with removable bits are very convenient to carry along with
the trail equipment. This allows a single tool to fit
a variety of purposes.
