You can use a Phillips screw driver or simply hold the screw head with your thumb. (If using a screw driver – do not over tighten the screw.)

Technical note - screws may look the same for all models but some of them are a different length. As far as I have noticed, screws for Kirby vacuums G4, G5, G6, Ultimate G and Ultimate G Diamond Edition are all the same.
