Precision Screwdrivers for Small Hardware

My purchase and Amazon option

A precision-screwdriver set appears in my purchases alongside the electrical fittings and small hardware.

The featured Amazon option is iFixit Mako Driver Kit.

Where it fits my build

I brought the roof light wires and camera cables into a PVC conduit layout. That work included drilled enclosures, threaded fittings, cable glands, solder-seal splices and grouped wiring.

During the small-box stage, I drilled for a male PVC fitting and used a fitting inside as a retaining nut. I routed the camera cable through a gland into a tee and brought the light-wire groups toward the van entry.

My build notes

The wiring project was a sequence of individual connections and routes. The photographs show the intermediate stages, including open boxes and wrapped wire groups, before the remaining covers and conduit joints were finished.

I built the cable route a section at a time, bringing local connections into the larger conduit system.

Alternative products

Two alternatives to compare

The iFixit Mako uses interchangeable bits. The Wiha sets provide individual precision drivers, with slotted and Phillips tips in one set and Torx tips in the other.

Questions from my build

A PVC conduit layout with boxes, fittings and cable glands.

What did I do at the small junction box?

I drilled the box for a threaded PVC fitting and arranged the light-wire connections inside that part of the route.
