Default Tuning Screwdriver

Hello, can you give some recommendations for a great quality, light and long tuning screwdriver that fits the carb needles perfectly?

Thanks

Depends on the carb, different ones use different sizes.

I like the one from Hudy that I have. I have also heard the one from Tekno and TLR work good. I’m sure any of those three will work fine.

I found something at the local hardware shop, just go to one and probably you will find something.

If you want something neat, there are tuning screwdrivers with a build in temp meter.

I understand that but 60$ seems a bit high imo. I’m cheap and conservative though so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Well in a lot of places, we run late into the evening, or well into the night. A light on my tuner has been pretty great. Its why Race Craft Command mods have been so popular.

Them Command Modules are pretty cool. With a decent led light it’s like being in a well lit shop, maybe better. A couple of guys at my local track have them. We have an indoor pit area but it’s kinda dim.
