Greetings,
Can anyone point me to a source for those little coin-shaped 4-headed screwdrivers? Alas, but I cannot find them anywhere!

Wow that brings memories... It was the first ET (extra terrestrial) item on my key chain when I was 15 years old. I stole it from the car shop my dad worked together with cadillac emblem.

Thanks, Stargazer. It hadn't occured to me to check such an obvious resource. Foolish of me! Looks like a trip by Sears is in order.

I found mine at the local Ace hardware, I think they were $1.29 each. In one of the SAK cards they include a similar screwdriver that also has 1 philips bit.

Hey!, that is a spark plug gap setting tool being used incorrectly.
There are gap size marks on the inside ridge that indicate what the gap on your spark plug is.

Thanks, that helps. I was actually considering getting the craftsman model and modifying one of the ends into a phillips screwdriver like the one on the leatherman micra. However I may not have to go to the trouble anyways. Looks like I'll be going to Sears this weekend to pick one of their's up.

I got one at Sears but never liked it for keyring carry. It's made of springy steel and rings like a bell when keys jingle against it. The sound is much more noticible than when keys (which I guess are brass or aluminum or something) bump against each other.
