We just used to file up plastic knitting needles in the day. No old granny
anywhere in the family that has got any for free in a cupboard somewhere ?

70 cents is irrelevant. Does it fit? Can it be adjusted to fit and will it
last long enough to do the job? What will be the shipping and handling
costs? Our need at this stage of the game is a very fine non conducting
tool that can adjust surface mount trimmer caps in reference oscillator
modules without detuning and with the least amount of damage.

Around 500. Thanks!

To break your price you probably would need to buy 10,000.

Well, that's hardly the same thing as "flat head type used for adjusting

Granny in a cupboard? Is there enough air in there?

No. Now that we know what "HE" needs (a whole lot easier to find, AKA;
screwdriver). Maybe I should start my own thread.
