I've got an old Palm IIIc that I want to get open. It's case is secured by 4 small screws on the back. The only screwdrivers that I have that will fit them are my jewelers screwdriver set.

The problem is that the torque required for me to unlodge the screws is more than those small screwdrivers could take. I just can't apply enough torque until I feel like I'm about to break the metal of the screwdriver.

Any suggestions? Normally I'd just drill out the screw if worst came to worst but I'd a) like to keep the screw in tact, and b) not have to drill on such a small screw anyway.

I know the feeling with those jewelers driver sets...

I picked up a Craftsman mini set a long time ago...those little drivers are strong strong strong!

Took a while to find the set I have via Google images....quite similar to this one.


And the smallest of philips in the set is small enough..very small.

i have a set from RS that has like 30 something bis. crazy small including torx phillips, flat head, security torx, security bits. Its opens anything. The bits are crazy small. but the handle is about the size of a highlighter so you can get a good grip
