thank you and they should come in colors to match your softies. Also a
choice of Phillips, Torx. 
Japanese cameras have slots which our Amercian currency doesn't quite
work with. It makes it ragged. I hear a yen fits right in those Nikons
with no damage! What I wouldn't do for one yen in my pocket. Haven't got
a yen. I yearn for a yen. So slots should be optimized for different
currencies. Does a Eurodollar have change? Perhaps not coin operated?
Back to the darkroom. Ah those fumes!
