You guys are making me feel stupid for buying a brass screwdriver.

Good idea. I've done the brass rod trick for a compass .. didn't think to
use it for VOR too.

I use a piece of 1/8 " brass brazing rod 6" long with one end filed down
to a screwdriver blade and shrink sleeving (for traction) on the other
end. Use it on both VOR/LOC alignment AND compass swinging. It has been
in the toolbox since the PSA days back in the mid-60s. It's about an inch
shorter than when I first made it due to "periodic calibration" of the
tip.

Just go to Sears and get a long necked thin blade one and file
the blade a little on the ends. Works great. Adjust it in the
air too all the way around a VOR station.
