If the screws you're touching are in good shape - fine (and _please_ use the
correct size screwdriver - the one that just fits the slot in the head). If
the screw resists at all or if you want to assemble/disassemble a clarinet,
buy a _good_ set of jewelers screwdrivers. Stanley makes a reasonable
all-around set for about $10.00 USD (#66-039); Snap-on makes a set that is
much better (more comfortable, the top palm rest more stable, multi-diameter
shank so you can apply different amounts of torque, etc.) but last time I
ordered them (20 years back) the set was about $25.00 USD - I'm scared to
think how much they cost _now_!

One of the very first things I bought my son for his clarinet was a set of
good screwdrivers ...

Cheers,
Mark C.
