JIS screwdrivers

OK... off topic for here, but one of you guys might know...

Where does a guy get JIS screwdrivers and bits? They are similar to Philips, but are Japanese industrial standard. Regular philips head drivers will strip out screws made for the other type.

I had never heard of JIS screws or screwdriver before either. But, here it is:

I'm guessing that Lee found some difficult fasteners on his Kawi.

For a screw impact driver, I have this one. Looks like Dennis Kirk has JIS bits for it for $3 a pair. Think I'll pick those up on my next DK order.

I just saw this. It was just recently I found out they were actually made like that on purpose. We always just ground a bit of the tip off until the screwdriver got a good bite. They still worked on Phillips head screws.
