Does anyone know of a source to buy a single screwdriver with the 2.5mm tip to fit the screws on carb slides?Bender used to sell them years ago but I haven't seen one lately only the t handle style in plastic or metal which may be easier to use but the only way to get the size I want (2.5mm) is to buy a whole set and I already have enough allen wrenches kicking around the tool box now.

I don't know if anybody makes one like that, but the tool vendors (Snap-On, Mac, Matco, Cornwell, etc) will normally just sell you one of anything and a site search will tell you if they offer one. I think they will sell on line.
I suppose that there would be an interference problem with a hex bit and driver or a bit mounted in a 1/4 drive holder.
Isn't one of the screws located so that the tool does not have a straight access? Would not a ball type hex would work well?

Yeah a ball end is best for that job and yes Snap On does have them in a set but unfortunately the guy that used to deal with Snap On and service this area no longer sells their tools.I am set up on line with a Snap On account but haven't checked yet to see if I can buy just one screwdriver.

Snap-On does not list one separately, but any item from a set can normally be bought as a replacement part. The listing does not show a number for the 2.5 - Snap-On would have to be contacted for information.

This Craftsman set is probably not much more than one Snap-On driver and the other sizes would be useful to have.
