Went with JIS screwdrivers over regular Phillips for a Pentax repair - glad I did
Picked up a beat up Pentax K1000 from a flea market in Nashville for $15. Tried using my regular Phillips set on the bottom plate screws, stripped one right away. Ordered a set of JIS screwdrivers off Amazon for like $20. Night and day difference - those screws actually came out without fighting me. Has anyone else had that moment where you realized you were using the wrong tool for Japanese cameras?

So you're saying I should feel bad about the Phillips head I beat into submission with a hammer?

Ain't no shame in winning that fight though, right?

Wait, you beat a Phillips head screwdriver with a hammer? @harper914 what kind of fight did that thing even put up?
