screwdriver size for Garmin hrm battery replacement

[alanmclean]

Hi

I would be very grateful for an ebay/whatever link to a little screwdriver to open the four tiny screws on a Garmin hrm.

I have a lot of tiny jewellers crosshead and flatblade drivers and none of them fit snugly. I am going to wreck the screwheads and my sanity if I continue. Are they a standard size?

Many thanks

Alan

I have a set of these that I use. They're a pain to unscrew and certain need plenty of downward pressure to ensure no killing the screwheads. Guess all the salt etc doesn't help the cause when trying to get it undone.

I think they are purposely designed to strip so you have to buy a new strap. They are a major pain.

thanks for all replies. I'll look at the craftsma phillips set. I wish Garmin made a toolfree battery door.

Pretty sure i used a Phillips 00 last time.

Im more a fan of quality tools but there are reasonable sets for opening mobile phones/other electronics/pocketknives.

Like Husky (there is also a torx version)

Or Like this set

However when you are out on real quality with high fit, look for PB Swisstools or other A-class brand.

yes, 00 phillips is correct and makes it easy. £1.67 from an ebay shop. If anyone from Garmin is reading this then please include a free screwdriver in the box. Thanks again for replies. Alan

000 works better.
