I need to adjust the bias in a few bits of equipment but for the life of me I cant find a plastic screwdriver for sale in the UK!

Can someone point me in the right direction. I don't like the idea of frying my equipment using a metal on.

Thanks

There's a special tool for adjusting bias pots, got a couple round here.

you got one spare, were talking about the standard pots inside most equipment.

I'll buy one off you if your in the uk.

Couldn't get the name "twiddling sticks" didn't sound right. Farnell and the like are quite expensive for postage. Maybe look on ebay?

I'm not sure about his shipping to the UK, but Beezar has one

I use a 1/4" (6mm) wooden dowel of which I shaped the tip to a screwdriver blade. Anti-static, non magnetic, only conducts orchestras when needed.

got a little kit, its on its way £2 including postage. Every time i searched for this it kept coming up with this link as one of the top suggestions

Doctor Who - Electronic Sonic Screwdriver: Amazon.co.uk: Toys & Games

But i think this only works on amplifers with flux capacitors rather than paper in oil capacitors.
