I NEED one of those
There are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary maths and those who don't
I buy a Wiha set (HP/Toolkit from TSA world-www.tsaworld.com) that uses Drive-loc blades. It comes in a green canvas pouch with velcro closure. All of the blades are double ended. #2 and #1 Phillips, the two sizes of flat blades, all the common size torque blades, the common hex blades, the common nut blades (hp printers and plotters), the handle, and an extension rod for deep set screws. Drive-loc lets you adjust the length of the blades at a whim and the blades are locked in, so they don't fall out when you're working.
There isn't a photo on their website, but if you wanted to take a look. It's here (see link below). I keep the phillips blade in it most of the time.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".
I want one too, but I am afraid I was demolish it in a week... lol
I hate to be pedantic but I think its 5.5mm you meant as i have one.
Unfortuantely Canon seem to have ditched these hex head screws in the newer models to round head that guess what, round off.
When you think you have made a procedure idiot proof your company employs a better idiot.
The Drive-Lok looks interesting ... but where does it say magnetic? I've got no patience for fetching screws off of the floor.
If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

One of these might help.
Magnetic Pickup Tools
I just keep a couple of magnetize blocks in my bag. Makes every bit magnetized.

Try some neodymium 4 or 5mm disc magnets on the other end of your screwdriver bit.

I have been wanting to find disc magnets to use with sockets and nut drivers but didn't know what to search for in the past.
Yea neodymium magnets are the strongest magnets you can buy.
If you want to be really cheap, you can get neodymium magnets out of hard drives (magnetic hard drives only--not solid state hard drives).
