Hello TamaTalk,
so I've come across a few topics here that stated that it is best to use JIS screwdrivers, especially for the Japanese vintage Tamas. Thing is, I can't find a true JIS screwdriver set for sale due to the fact that as of 2008, JIS stopped being a standard, as stated here: https://www.webbikeworld.com/hozan-jis-screwdrivers-review/
'Because the technology to manufacture screwdrivers in Japan had already become above a certain level, JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) recognition system for screwdrivers became extinct in 2008.
So there is no authorized JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) manufacturer now, and we therefore cannot print “JIS” mark on our screwdrivers.'
I've done some more research, and the company Vessel (Bessel in Japan) seem like a good alternative and fit JIS screws quite firmly. Does anyone here have any experience with this company's products, or alternatively, knows where I can get a true JIS screwdriver set?
What I was looking at from Vessel / Bessel is this: https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Bessel-Vessel-Difference-Screwdrivers-No-220w-3/dp/B08296M936/ref=sr_1_11?dchild=1&keywords=jis%E3%83%89%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%83%90%E3%83%BC&qid=1611533251&sr=8-11&th=1
It includes a bit for #+0 and #+00. Will this be everything I need to open up the vintage Tamas (and also take apart to do repairs / cleaning inside the Tamas if necessary)?
Thanks in advance to anyone with some more information on this subject.
