A No. 1 Philips is fairly small, in fact most people don't have other
than the No. 2 Philips. However there are yet smaller Philips,
typically found in eyeglass repair kits (zero size). You may find a
comprehensive screwdriver kit helpful to have, I like the idea of one
handle with several bits, keeps the cost way down... and the bits are
hardened so last practically forever:
