Q: Why VESSEL's screwdrivers are not labeled “JIS”?

As you might know, VESSEL is the oldest screwdriver manufacturer in Japan, and made a contribution to set a JIS standard.

We do follow JIS standard for cross point screwdrivers. Because the technology to manufacture screwdrivers in Japan had already become above a certain level, JIS recognition system for screwdrivers became extinct in 2008.

So there is no authorized JIS manufacturer now, and we therefore cannot print "JIS" mark on our screwdrivers.

Since 1916, VESSEL has been committed to manufacturing the highest quality ergonomic hand tools.

Features include:

• Black Tips - tenacious and abrasion resistant to endure harsh operation
• Chrome Plating - resists rust and maintains a smooth finish
• Chrome Vanadium Steel - hardened, high strength for durability and longevity
• Ergonomic - designed to fit comfortably in your hand
