I've been breaking needles and creating bird's nests under the needle
plate.

It takes me a while to unscrew the needleplate with the supplied flat
Singer screwdriver. Has anyone found a driver short enough to fit under
the housing that you can spin instead of having to change your grip?

This should work, and it might be small enough fit in the mini utility
box.

Anyone have a better prospect?

Sounds counter intuitive but I use a 12 inch long with a 3/16" blade. At an
angle.
