I tried to take my center headliner structural cross bow off last night only to find I needed a clutch headed screwdriver. Of course I couldn't SEE that I needed one until I took off the over-the-door and over-the-windshield triem first. On those I have shiny new zinc Phillips head screws. I tried using a small flat blade screwdriver in the opening at an angle - and just managed to EFF up the edge of the blade!

I know better than to try my local Sears for a Craftsman one. They MAY make them, but my Sears has northing but standard stuff, and little of it at that.
I have found that most of the time the screwdrivers are a waste of time. Ok for installing but not removing unless you have a gorilla grip you can't hold on. I use sockets from snapon. (about $12.00 each)you can mail order them.
Northern tools has a complete kit with just about any tip known to man if you want less expensive
