I got my 3 x  Vessel JIS screwdrivers delivered this week from Japan. The light blue ones. Abour $50 AUD landed. 
I haven't used them yet but they feel good in the hand.

Just used one for the first time. I'm wrapped. The little serrations on the tip seem to grip the screw . Have to pull it out after you use it.  It impressed me.

I share your excitement.
I got this little beauty today and I reckon it will save my crippled fat ass four hours work straight up.
Every fair dinkum bloke should be excited with a new tool, even if it's a small one ;D ;D ;D ;D

I got a set of Vessel screwdrivers as well. I'm a fan. They don't cam out and have a great feel. Well worth the plunge.

 I looked on ebay for Vessel screwdrivers, I see they also have replacement impact driver bits. There are several different screwdriver end sizes, a set of four should do anything I'd need.

Are you referring to a combination wrench or a socket?
