Your favorite ceramic screwdriver set?

[Harry Klippton]

Anybody got a non conductive screwdriver set they like? Thanks

That's another one I didn't know I needed!

Is this about metal screwdrivers interacting with the circuit you're adjusting with a trimmer? Or just not wanting to short a live circuit?

I have a non magnetic one I made out of brass with a phenolic handle, I would use to adjust adjust compasses, I didn’t know they made ceramic screwdrivers, interesting

snap-on makes a composite screwdriver but you can buy a lot of sets of klein insulated screwdrivers that are rated to1kV for what a single driver costs

I’ve got an old set of plastic adjustment “tools” that I think used to be standard for doing adjustments to trimmers in color tvs, etc. they aren’t nearly strong enough to used on screws, but I always have used them to toy with live circuit adjustments, worried about both the components’ lives and mine. (Not that we have much to fear from our 9v dc pedals).

You can also take some heat shrink and just leave the bottom 1 mm of blade exposed; obviously not as protective of shorting out stuff as "non-conductive" would be, but more user safe than an all conductive shaft would be.

Thanks @Alan W I ended up getting a set a while back on bezosmart
