Sears ratcheting elbow screwdriver...

Probably not the name, but I've had these little gems since I fitted out my first toolbox. Bought it from the Sears mailorder folks (now defunct?). These things are simple stamped handles about 4 inches in length, set into the end of which are permanently affixed #1 and #2 Phillips (cross tip) bits. A little slide nob allows CW and CCW rotation. It is perfect.

I have two, Phillips and flat, each with large and small tips. The new ones may come with a P and F #2 combo.

From the Sears website:

Or...
One threader recommended swapping out the OEM screws with Allen head bolts. Good idea.

Either way, take your time getting the new VR in there. The new brushes stick way out and you just have to be a bit careful to get them seated correctly while also attempting to align the screws.

Good luck.
