    Go Fast Innovations JIS Screwdrivers

    Have to give a shout out to the folks at Go Fast Innovations. My # 2 JIS screwdriver tip broke and I emailed them regarding a warranty replacement.

    One day later, I got an email requesting my address so they could ship me a new one!

    It's nice to do business with a company that actually stands behind their products!

      I've never been around any JIS drivers, that I know of. Only heard of them the past couple of yrs. The ones I've used at the local bike shop may have been JIS and I just didn't realize it. I've ruined many screws, probably because of it. Learned use an impact every time, if enough room, and have much better results. Now wondering, Phillips drivers work "good on Phillips" screws and "just OK on JIS". Reading about the JIS they all say work on both. Is it like the Phillips? JIS "Work good on JIS" screws and just "OK on Phillips"? or do they work "good" on both. Also, I see Go Fast is in Canada, normally very high shipping cost. Can they be bought down here to maybe keep the price down a little?

        JIS screwdrivers/bits work very well on Phillips screws, much better than the reverse.

        I've said this before, but if you work on Japanese bikes a set of JIS screwdrivers will be the best money you'll ever spend on tools.

          Thanks for the reminder. My # 2 after a lot use lost it's tip as well. I'll drop him a note as well. Great set of drivers, comfy in the hand, well balanced and you can apply a lot of torque with handle design when properly seated in the screw.

            I'm not a fan of the hex on the end of the handle of the Go Fast screwdrivers. I use Vessel, including their wonderful Impacto drivers, almost every day. Great tools.

              I even got a shipping notice with the tracking number today.

              Great tools and even better service! That's how you keep customers coming back for more products.

                I stick with the O.E.M. stuff, and use an Impact wrench to remove them. The Japanese do use different standards and American Phillips do not fit into Japanese p=Philips right. I always grounded down the tip a tiny bit to get a better bite.
