Topic: Tuning a GFI keyless? A right angle phillips? |

If you have a GFI keyless, what kind of screwdriver do you use to to tighten the Phillips head screws which tighten the string down?
A regular Phillips screwdriver has to be slanted at a slight angle to get a grip on the Phillips head (because the tuner knobs are just slightly in the way). Is there a right angle Phillips screwdriver, adjusting for limited clearance, that would fit the head of the screw for a solid tightening without slightly stripping the head of the screw?
Or any other suggestions?
Thanks

I just use a regular Phillips and have never had an issue with it. I can see access being a problem if the screws aren't backed up all the way to the nut, which they should be before changing strings.
Hardest thing for me is getting some of the strings around the screws. I use a pair of needlenose pliers.

| I also used a regular Phillips driver, a short one. |

OK. thanks. It is easier when the screws are backed all the way to the nut.
