Wago Spare

Knowing that we will probably mess up our Wago tool some time in the 6 weeks, we would like to buy a spare.

I found this website. http://www.wago.us/products/2453.htm

Which one do we get? I know the wago tool we got in the kit seems a little big (although it works) for the smaller connectors for the camera, crio, and wireless. What size tool do you guys suggest for that?

Thanks in advance!

Re: Wago Spare

Honestly... i recommend taking your wago tool with you to lowes, home depot, or even radio shack and just finding a set of small screwdrivers that are about the same size. It'll probably be cheaper than anything else, and should work just as well...

Re: Wago Spare

I think the one with the angled blade would make it much easier to get into tight spaces.

I'm not sure what advantage the straight one has over a normal screwdriver, so I wouldn't spend money for a special wago tool, except for the angled blade one.

Re: Wago Spare

If you do get screwdrivers from a commercial source make sure that there is plastic between the handle and the head, you don't know what could happen.

Re: Wago Spare

A set of precision screw drivers would work great, and is pretty handy when doing electrical work.

Re: Wago Spare

The Xcelite R3323 pocket screwdriver should work very well and you probably have one in your toolbox right now. BTW, adding a litte heatshrink over the round part of the blade makes it insulated.
