I like the little Stihl ones, just gotta grind em down for 288’s I find.
Terminal drivers with the pocket clip are good too, less likely (but not impossible) to get stabbed in the nuts or thigh by it.

I like the little orange stihl ones and just burn a line into them so
you can count how many turns when ajusting the carb.

I find a line burnt into the handle is good if you have had your jets right out so if you want one and a quarter
or one and a half turns out just as a ball park figure. Then I tune by ear from there on.

I've always used little promotional screwdrivers. Problem was they were too small for the rubber guides and would slip off or get in the pocket next to the screw head. Saws with the limiters ripper out worse, 395xp H the worst. Started making or modifying larger ones that fit/center in the bore.

I know a Wera 4mm slotted screwdriver fits just snug in the rubber on a Dolmar PS-9000.
It's a straight cabinet tip, so the shaft is 4mm also.
