I also keep the old busted monopods around for parts (despite my wife thinking I'm nuts).  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I keep one of these screwdrivers in my waist pouch that I use for football games (also keeps my batteries, 1.4x TCII, 2x TC II, CF Card wallet, batteries, etc) and if the lever assemblies ever become loose, I can adjust these with only one tool. I had the matching Bogen/Manfrotto screwdriver and hex nut driver set years ago, but the screwdriver head broke the first time that I used it. When I discovered, rather by accident, that my reversible screwdriver was able to turn the hex nuts I was STOKED!! Thanks for the link to the repair parts, Joseph!  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Add your comments...
