Hexagon Tool For Adjusting Potentiometer?

[rogart63]

What tool to use for adjusting this kind of potentiometer? Have a 1310 and a tissot 2030 aswell as the 1300 in the picture. That needs to be tweeked  a little.

A small flat blade screwdriver will fit across from point to point and since there won't be much pressure needed to turn the potentiometer you shouldn't cause any damage?

You should see one of my Tissot 2030. God now what they had adjusted that with? I would really like to find the proper tool for it?

Understand.

There are watchakers hex sets. Just a matter of finding the right size or buy a set.

Rodico into the recess then measure the mold to get right size?

These might be the tools. I got these with a job lot of tools on eBay a few years ago & I have never used them.

Tools for trimmer pots are often plastic or have plastic handles so you don't effect the circuit when you touch it with the tool. A metal hex wrench could drive you crazy as you try to adjust :-)

There are plastic cheap screwdrivers available for those in an electronics store...just make sure the size is correct.

Yes, those are the tools I was thinking of. Only question is the size. If you can find the right size, they should be much cheaper than "watch tools".

 

Cheers!

Also, they could be easily modified...
