Using an Kraft KPS 15 servo, here I show how to make your own screwdriver for working with small, repetitious screws, Allens or bolts. Necessity is the mother of invention, so hence (because we had so many little screws to remove and replace) this was the cool way to do it. Many old servos can be found and used for this task at garage sales, etc. I use mine all the time and hope you may find this a useful project to try. I use Amazing Goop to glue my stuff, www.amazinggoop.com and because this is a tight fit with lack of air, let it dry at least 48 hours before using. Your servo may differ than mine, and you may elect to mount your screwdriver to the output arm, or servo wheel instead. That allows you to remove the driver and add a drill bit, slotted screw drive, or Allen wrench instead. I made mine permanent, because I dont lose anything since it is entirely self-contained. Most of the things I need to use it on is Phillips anyway. This fits in the palm of the hand rather well and you may find it a useful tool. Have fun, and thanks for watching. Dave
