Re: Trimming Tools

 

It looks like the T4857 product is thermoplastic made in Taiwan. I also have a ceramic set like Tisha which was also recommended by K7QO.

But I recently bought a vintage radio and had to buy yet another set, because none of my other tools would fit the
2mm hex cores in a vintage SX-190 that I am restoring. The Hozan D-16 is made from Delrin, but I have no idea if
that's a step up from thermoplastic.

I haven't cracked any cores yet, knock on wood...

Be careful, ceramic is very fragile and you can't do anything more than
trimming adjustments, never use it as a conventional screwdriver. But it beats
the pants off of those plastic tools or the ones with the tiny metal tips.
