Title:

What is the actual size of a Y1 Tri Wing screwdriver?

Text:

Hi,

Just interested to know if Y1 = 3mm.

The OP of this  [https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/487117/What+is+the+exact+tool+kit+needed+to+take+apart+the+switch+console|question]  replied that the Y1 Tri wing screwdriver that is recommended to use in the [https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Nintendo+Switch+Battery+Replacement/105302|Nintendo Switch battery replacement guide] was too big and the correct size was actually a [https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Screwdriver-EMiEN-Tri-point-Controller/dp/B078BFF1KR?tag=ifixitam-20|1.5mm Tri wing] screwdriver.

Is this a typo in the guide perhaps?

(I've linked to the author of the guide @technoanarchist in a comment to my answer for the question, but no response as yet)

Searching online I've found a [http://youfutools.com/product-item/3-0mm-tri-wing-y1-screwdriver-nintendo-apple-macbook-laptop-battery/|3mm Tri wing Y1] screwdriver (not the only listing stating this) which makes it a bit confusing as to the actual size. Y1 or 3mm or does it mean the same thing?
