I have to get something like that, I still use a cotton bud with the tip removed. Can't remember which wheel building guide that was in but it works.

The Bosch 3.6V screwdrivers are $80 here so they'd have to be about $1 in the US, I had a Wiha one but it sucked and used 6mm bits so I gave it to an electrician who likes it.I got the 1.5 size but will probably also snag the 2.5
And I've also been considering an electric screwdriver for it. But I don't build wheels that often so I'm not gonna sweat it.

Nice universal BB tool.Grabbed an old 24" Dowitat pipe wrench and and some other German brand in a 14".

Our workshop is full of 3/4" bars that are so bent they are basically useless, seemed odd that they just kept buying them so I ordered an inch thick pry bar, I can bounce on it and it doesn't bend.
