The green plastic tuning tool is too wide to fit in the slot of the narrow slot slug-tuned inductors. Is it safe to use a screwdriver on the small slot 1µH inductors?
I'm assuming the screwdriver would be a metal one. It would let you turn the slug but you would have to use it with care as it could damage the top of the slug. Also the metal screwdriver can affect the inductance of the inductor and throw off the adjustment.
Your safest option is to shave a little off each side of the plastic tuning tool to make it fit. You shouldn't need to shave much off it to make it fit.
