Tightening pinblock and rim screws

Greetings -

I recently joined the on-line group and I really appriciate the
discussion and information....

I wanted to ask a question about tightening pinblock and rim plate
screws. I have been using a phillips and/or flat head screw driver bit
that you can fit into your tuning hammer. I think I got them from Schaff.
I have usually found though that the screws that I am using them on are
larger than the screw driver tips. I end up nicking the crome screw tops
or, worse yet nicking the plate, trying to wrench down on them. I noticed
yesterday that the phillips head has gotten so chewed up that it's nearly
unusable. Is there another supplier for this kind of tool that you can
use in a tuning hammer that fits better in these large screws? What is
everybody else using? There has got to be a better mouse trap, if you
know what I mean...

Thanks!
