Hello,
         I'm new to the list here, as well as this job.  The screwdriver is=
=20
extremely difficult to get from here.  I tried to get it from Bechstein=20
better than a year ago, and finally gave up.  Email responses were taking=20
weeks- months, literally.  (Of course, I've never ordered anything directly=
=20
from Germany before, nor do I speak the language)  If I remember correctly,=
=20
they're in the neighborhood of $30/U.S, I may be wrong.  So, since you're=20
offering, if you would add me to your order list, J=FCrgen, I'd love to get=
=20
one.  And thanks for posting that offer- much appreciated!
         Schaff does have the tool on p40 of their catalog.  No.81 Rocker=20
Screwdriver.  It's $7.18.  I have it and it is a bit awkward to use.  It=20
works, but you might find the need to re-bend the angle that steps up at=20
the ends, and/or file down the tip width a bit in order to use it more=20
comfortably.  It's especially difficult to use on more stubborn, tight=
 screws.
