Cheap trimmer adjustment tool

Aug 03, 2009 10 Replies

aka trimmer alignment tool. Looking for the flat head type used for adjusting pots. Cheapest I've seen is $.70, anyone seen a cheaper source in the US?


How many are you looking for?

We just used to file up plastic knitting needles in the day. No old granny anywhere in the family that has got any for free in a cupboard somewhere ? :-)

70 cents is irrelevant. Does it fit? Can it be adjusted to fit and will it last long enough to do the job? What will be the shipping and handling costs? Our need at this stage of the game is a very fine non conducting tool that can adjust surface mount trimmer caps in reference oscillator modules without detuning and with the least amount of damage.

To break your price you probably would need to buy 10,000.

Well, that's hardly the same thing as "flat head type used for adjusting pots" , is it ?

Granny in a cupboard? Is there enough air in there?

I'll scour the surplus electronics sites a few more times.

No. Now that we know what "HE" needs (a whole lot easier to find, AKA; screwdriver). Maybe I should start my own thread.
