I, generally, use a ratcheting, interchangeable regular-sized screwdriver for the initial loosening of screws. Here's a link to the brand I use:

Get some additional, varying sizes Flathead and Phillips bits while you're at it.
The adjustable wrenches I use (instead of hex nut wrenches) are Husky, but these (with the red insert) work very well... 6-inch will be used the most:

Just had the same gear issue. Did you know that removing the pinion gear, you can move the center shaft aside to remove the main geat shaft. You don't have to remove c clips.

[@TSGReelService]

Cool! Glad to hear the video helped. Regarding the removing the pinion gear to remove the drive gear comment, (see my Daiwa BG, Shimano Saragosa, and some of my other Shimano videos tutorial videos for examples of such).... I'm not sure why I don't do it with these baitrunners.... or other reels for that matter, but I would definitely prefer NOT to remove those darn C-Clips, so thanks for planting the seed. Spread the word about the channel.

I'm looking to buy a baitfeeder, baitrunner, live liner whatever you want to call them. Budget is $150 fish are blue catfish up to 90lbs, lakes usually some river fishing all from the bank/shore. What would you recommend sir?

[@TSGReelService]

Thanks for watching! This reel, but $150 is a low budget..... then (either you or a repair shop) break down the line roller, grease all the parts..... and then simply take care of your reel after that..... should last many, many years!
If you can't get the 6500B, the 8000D or 12000D are nice also.

[@dustinfrost5214]

Would you be able to help me find that gear I can't seem to find one

[@TSGReelService]

Best bet is to check eBay. If they don't have it, then you are probably out of luck.

[@dustinfrost5214]

Luckily I found one cheers
