Have you ever worked on Japanese vehicles and had problems with the screwdriver not fitting well or stripping the screw heard? Use the correct tool - try our JISDRIVE instead. What is JIS DRIVE? JIS means Japanese Industrial Standards. This standard is applied for Japanese Standards screws, and is mainly used in Japanese-made cars, motorcycles, home appliances, etc. The tips of VESSEL screwdrivers and bits are manufactured in accordance with JIS. In addition, VESSEL has developed its own in-house standards to achieve even higher precision and quality tips. Why FOR ALL SCREWS? As shown in the picture, VESSEL JISDRIVE was developed with the concept that the 4 sides of the tip (shown as blue) should fit the screw evenly, allowing you to turn screws with confidence. As a result, VESSEL tips can fit any standard screws and transmit force without loss of power. KnowHow / KnowLedge In 1950, Osawa Shokai Co., Ltd. was the first company in Japan to obtain a license for Phillips screws, and VESSEL was commissioned to produce their Phillips screwdrivers. VESSEL was involved in the establishment of the JIS as a representative of tool manufacturers, and this tip was called JIS B-1012. These JIS screwdrivers are now used in audio players, automobiles, motorcycles, and other industrial products in Japan and around the world. VESSEL's original "cross-point tips" with long years highly-experienced is called JISDRIVE. Review: Nice and affordable starter kit of JIS screw drivers - Why did you pick this product vs others?: Needed JIS set and saw many mechanics using the Vessel brand. The drivers are great and really make a difference when working with JIS screws versus using a Phillips head driver. Build quality: These seem well built and fit in the hand well. They feel good in the hand and are not prone to slipping. Good mixture of drivers and sizes Review: These are what you’re looking for. - It feels crazy. I thought premium screwdrivers were a joke. I turned many a screw with cheap screwdrivers no problem. I bought these and my eyes were opened. They are GREAT! Not good. Great! The fit is great. It grips the screw head like it owes it money. I’m truly impressed. There’s all the basic sizes covered. I thought I might miss out on something because I went with the black grips instead of the wood or megadora. Maybe I am but I’m beyond pleased with this set. Useful, quality, able to crank on screws, and seem durable. ## Features - ARMOR GRIP Screwdriver 8PC.

Set (JISDRIVE) No.550A8PTU (Previous) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-8LZziHjL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the difference between the new and old version please?** A: It's basically the same. The (new) one will be deleted soon. **Q: Does the Armor grip soft or hard ?** A: It is a soft grip. The outer material is TPE, also known as Thermoplastic Elastomer. However the core material is made of a hard material PP. So it's the soft grip that you could feel solidity of PP through TPE of the rubbery soft outer material. **Q: I checked with Vessel in Japan and they say they do not make these. Please verify.** A: This product No.550A8PTU is 100% made by us VESSEL. This is exclusively distributed by VESSEL TOOLS U.S.A., INC., so this is not offered by VESSEL in Japan. **Q: Why are the screwdrivers marked as p.1, p.2, p.3 if they are not phillips? instead, shouldn't they be marked #1, #2, #3? unless the p is from jips..** A: There are no reasons for it. We used to describe Phillips, or should we say, Cross Point blade tip as p.1, p.2, p.3, and etc. We sometimes describe them as PH1, PH2, and PH3 because those are the nominal description of crusiform blade tips for cross recessed screws in the US. Sorry for confusion, but please consider all screwdriver produced by our own factory are the so-called JIS Drive specification. You can find out that from the country of origin. It is Japan or Thailand. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice and affordable starter kit of JIS screw drivers *by S***N on June 20, 2025* Why did you pick this product vs others?: Needed JIS set and saw many mechanics using the Vessel brand.
