Hello all,

I have decided: I will try to get a Bioloid kit - thank you all for the various comments on this forum, helping me in my decision.

I have read that there are two standards for screwdrivers: Japanese and North-American.

Could anyone tell me if the screws in the Bioloid are as per Japanese standards (and therefore required the Japanese screwdriver) or as per the NOrth-American ones?

Thank you

I use these for everything except the 4 screws to mount the CM5.

The fit pretty well.

The proper set for the Bioloid are JIS screwdrivers. If you're in the States, they can be bought at Trossen.
