My solution was to call it, and it was (albeit a bit large), an eye
glass screw driver.  You have all most likely seen this type of screw
driver, you can usually get them in a set of 5 or 6, in a clear and blue
plastic case, usually used for work on small devices.  I believe the set
is sold at Radio Shack.  Note: I did first check to make sure the
screwdriver would fit my eye glasses.
