These are from one of the very few companies in the world that make actual JIS tools.
Most JIS advertised screwdrivers sold today by companies like Vessel, Hozan, and others are made to a new standard: DIN 5260 which is middle ground between Phillips and JIS.
With old/rusty screws that are hard to remove, the middle ground will not cut it. Who wants to Ruin a 30 year old screw because you used the wrong tool? How much time would not having to drill the head off the screw, once its stripped out, save you?
If you only need one set of screwdrivers, or are an infrequent user, the new DIN/ISO standard screw drivers will likely work for you, but if using the right tool for the job is important to you or if you frequently work with Japanese or JIS screws, consider investing in proper JIS screw drivers that are built to to the correct Japanese Industrial Standards  (B 4633).
These are the only set of JIS drivers you will ever need. A set of Screwdrivers & our JIS impact drivers and you are set for life!
Some of the best tools you can buy.
Made out of Chrome Vanadium steel, so you know they are top quality.
These hardened screwdrivers are magnetic.
These excel with vintage machines with hard to remove fasteners. These do not slip out!
Screwdriver-size #1 with a 75mm shaft, perfect for those little screws on handlebar switches, electrics, etc
Screwdriver-size #2 with a 100mm shaft, our most versatile, great for all carb screws, etc
Screwdriver-size #3 with a 150mm shaft, fits all those larger screws found on the engine cases and bodywork.
We have gotten the impact bits in, so if you need the best bits ever made, search one of these numbers in the ebay search line:

When you receive your JIS screwdriver set and open the box, you will find the best set and maybe the last set of screwdrivers you will ever buy. That’s because JIS screwdrivers fit most Phillips screws too.
Most people don’t know that there are multiple screw types that look like the traditional Phillips. (See Picture #3)
Phillips screws by design were created to cam-out. This is a process in which the driver is meant to jump out of the screw when a certain torque is reached. There are many theories as to why, such as dangers of over tightening on airplanes, or tool longevity, but never the less at one time or another everyone will experience a Phillips round-out as a function of its cam-out design.
JIS drivers are re-engineered standards that aim to reduce or eliminate cam-out.
Even though the JIS & Phillips looks very similar, they are two different designs and the drivers are not meant to be interchangeable. Using one in the other will lead to frustration and stripped out screws.
There are the real JIS and the not-so-real JIS screwdrivers. Remember, JIS is a standard, so a screwdriver needs to be made to that exact standard to be considered authentically JIS.
Most JIS advertised screwdrivers sold today by companies like Vessel, Hozan, and others are actually conforming to a new standard: DIN 5260 which is identical (at the tip) to the newer ISO 8764-1.
But wait, DIN stands for Deutsches Institut für Normung e.V. (German Institute for Standardization), and ISO is the International Organization for Standardization. Neither sound very Japanese, do they?
The reason these companies have changed to DIN 5260/ISO 8764-1 is because the new standard is designed to work in both Phillips and JIS screws. For the most part that is true, it does work on both screw types, but like anything meant to work with multiple things, the middle ground means compromise. The JIS standard screwdriver will always outperform a DIN/ISO screw driver in the worst of conditions on a JIS screw, and the same is true in reverse.
If you only need one set of screw drivers, or are an infrequent user, the new DIN/ISO standard screw drivers will likely work for you, but if using the right tool for the job is important to you or if you frequently work with Japanese or JIS screws, consider investing in proper JIS screw drivers that are built to JIS B 4633.
We are glad to be one of less than a handful of companies who can supply the correct J.I.S. drivers. They are made out of the best materials possible.
