Garmin Premium Heart Monitor
I need to change the battery in said monitor. Unfortunately, the battery compartment 'lid' is held in place by the tiniest Phillips head screws known to man, and I can't find a driver that'll properly engage them. Anyone know where to find a suitable tool for this job?
Thanks,
Bert

I have this set from Walmart that works for most tiny screws.

I use tiny screwdrivers all the time. Might as well buy a set now. They're cheap.

I should have mentioned that I do have a # 0 Phillips from Park. It's too large. The set jmX suggested has a # 00 that might work. I'm thinking the thing to do is to take the monitor with me to Lowes or OSH or whoever just to make sure whatever I get can actually do the job.
What irritates me is that if Garmin is going to insist on using some odd-ball fasteners on something that is definitely going to need 'unfastening', they really ought to provide the appropriate tool.
