For the task you describe, you'll benefit from one of these: https://www.amazon.com/GearWrench-85035-35-MicroDriver-Set/dp/B0062FSAVI
or the Lowes Kobalt equivalent: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-35-Piece-Standard-SAE-and-Metric-Mechanic-s-Tool-Set-with-Hard-Case/3387640 Working from a bosun chair using a regular screwdriver over your head sucks if the fastener is stuck. Chances are you'll booger up the head of the fastener if it's stuck. With a microdriver you can get more torque while applying downward pressure. Trust me, my microdriver set goes aloft with me anytime I'm working with fasteners. I have a set for the house and a set on the boat. It's truly a "go to" tool. Dennis C.
