    Why don't you just buy a socket and put it on a ratchet?

    The Wiha has a magnet that holds those dinky 3mm Ricoh screws, where a socket would not.
    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.

    I have this Wiha hex screwdriver an it's really good. The magnet it's not amazing but it works. What I'm desperately trying to find it's a really stubby hex 5.5 screwdriver similar with the #2 stubby. Did anybody saw one like this anywhere????

    Yeah a ratchet would work but no magnet plus something that's just all one piece would be the best.

    I was actually at Wiha today because we sold them a c900 and I was helping set it up. I asked the guy there about this and he thought they should have one but couldn't find it in the catalog. I took a catalog and can't find it either so I don't think they sell one.

    5.5mm nut driver stubby nut driver would be the best for getting out the screws holding the plate with the registration sensor on the 60 ppm machines.

    FYI I have had some of those Wiha nut drivers where the magnet is weak and I think it's because it's set in too far. I went to a surplus store that had a bunch of them for a dollar each. Well that's why they were in there screws barely stayed in them and when I compared them to a working one the magnet was in deeper than the surplus one.

    Yes, exactly for those areas
    Pretty sure ours Wiha are the defective ones because are ordered by ton by R.... All my screwdrivers are Wiha and Made in Germany but won't last more than 1 year.

    Google it. Here are some sites.

    5.5 MM Magnetic nutdriver

    Westlake Electronic Supply: Product Details for XCE-9955MMM XCELITE

    BLACKHAWK ST-955M Nut Driver, Hex 5.5mm

    When all else fails buy the bit and a stubby handle and make your own.
    Why do they call it common sense?

    If it were common, wouldn't everyone have it?

    Thanks for the post. Ames site is really good. I think you are right about making one myself, but I'm to lazy . I hoped to pay quick 6$ - 10$ somewhere and get it. Anyway it's weird that no manufacturer has one in their catalogs.

    Long's do one too, 5.5mm magnetic nut spinner it's called. I think you can get a couple of different lengths.
    It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

    Hit it.
