I have two old regulating screwdrivers with their own handles and very thin 
shafts. Both end in very small tips that are not much bigger then the screw 
head they're supposed to grab. One of them (with a large handle) may be the 
Yamaha tool. The other belonged to my grandfather and is probably 80 years 
old. Both work well, though the older tool is better balanced.
