OK, Uncle...I quit...I ordered the T-handle with #1,2, and 3. It is just very odd that someone doesnt sell a little plastic case with #00,0,1,2,and 3 in it....I will see if I can find at least a #0 bit....anyone want to buy a T-handle or trade for a #0 bit? LOL!
BTW, the correct link is
http://www.motionpro.com/
And yes, they sell just the bits...two pack for $3.50...but no #0 that I can see.....
Is the #1 and #2 the predominant ones we would find on our Japanese bikes?
Check out the shipping costs of this set.

I also I decided to try and cancel the T-handle and order this....easier to store on the FJR....errrr...I mean the NT....

Very interesting article from web bike world on JIS screws and screwdrivers. Basically they say they no longer exist.

Huh… well, I thought the Hozan “JIS” screwdrivers worked better than the Phillips screwdrivers in my toolbox. What do I know?

Got my vessel JIS kit today and examined them against my plethora of other bits, most from china.
I would have to agree with alot of what the article said.....maybe I can find some time to actually find some JIS screws on my bikes and try the bits.....
One thing I noticed.....Phillips 1 , 2 and 3 do not correspond to Jiz/phillips 1, 2 and 3. A Jiz 1 is larger than a Phillip one.
It is really hard to argue with the words that came right out of Vessel's mouth

I have the 4 pc Hosan set, but the best fitting so far are the screwdrivers from my 1983 Shadow tool kit.
