Tools for cartridge mounting...

1. Does anyone know of a small torque screwdriver that could be used to mount a cartridge (to ensure equal pressure on both screws)?

2. Does anyone know of a good type of needle-nose pliers to use for connecting cartridge leads (without chewing up and scraping the connections)?

thanks, albert. i accessed the web site but don't see any of the tools you use or about which the thread began. the tiny torque driver sounds cool; love to have one for my tool chest.

i've acquired a number of tools over the years that i use for my audio equipment. for example, there's a set of rotating-head screwdrivers made in germany that were designed for working on precision instruments (manufactured by "wiha"). i've also found very small, well-made pliers and wire cutters in stores that supply rc car, plane and boat hobbyists. carburetor wrenches (in metric sizes) are also helpful in takin' stuff apart.
finally, i've found some really neat little watchmakers' tools in antique stores; they're art objects as well as tools.
