Bonne chance, mon amie

by any chance ?

Also look at Vessel from Japan, their stuff is fab. If you have Japanese cars or bikes then they often have JIS screws and normal Philips screwdrivers don’t fit - they just fuck up the screws. I think the only true JIS are SunFlag from Japan. The DIN 8764 types (which the PB Swiss are) fit them well as they’re designed to work in both JIS and standard Philips. Pretty sure the Vessel are made to the same spec. It’s the standard Philips screwdrivers you have to be careful of, they just don’t fit well and will cause damage when used on JIS screws. OTOH JIS pattern screwdrivers fit standard Phillips well.
I know it’s geeky, but It’s worth knowing the differences, especially if you have Japanese vehicles.
My betting is that he has some kind of elaborate Long Game plan involving unwonted knowledge of our main strategic nuclear deterrent that will ensure that Come The Revolution, he’s Alright, (Union) Jack…
I have these, they are ace.
Do you find much difference vs Vessel?
Seemed very similar to your vessel, they weren’t exactly good value because I bought them from Japan
I think Hozan as well:

Not sure if they’re decent, though.
Nice sets of vessel:
Thru-shaft screwdrivers make great chisels.
Can I borrow some of yours?
As long as you leave a 100% deposit, sure!
In the same way that a micrometer doubles up as a glue clamp, and you can use a spirit level for pounding in fence posts …

Are they any good at opening paint pots?
handy tip that.
Chisels are the best thing for that (if all else fails they can be used to stab your way in, can-opener stylee).

I do have a special wood chisel to get bearings from shafts.
