RTA screw size

[madstabber]

So I’m looking into getting some wrenches for my rta’s. I was curious if anyone has an RTA that uses SAE sized screws? It seems that they are all metric which would make sense since most are made outside the US, Liberia,and Myanmar. So can I just get a set of nice metric hex drivers instead of getting both SAE and metric? So please let me know if you’ve encountered standard sized screws on your rta, rda, etc. hopefully not

I basically use these for all my atties one or the other is all I’ve ever needed.

I have the Wiha Torx drivers from Amazon for a couple of attys that use Torx. For everything else, a Stanley mini screwdriver set suffices. Harbor freight sells both Stanley and another brand of mini screwdrivers with green handles.

Wiha. Whether Torx or hex, that's all I use these days. If you want a set (hex), look up Wiha 26390, and if you want just the two most common (1.3 and 1.5), look up 26313 and 26315.

edit: On a budget you can get the 35392 set, which is a set of mini hex L-keys, but I find the straight drivers with handles much easier to use.

And if you build coils at 2.5mm the shank on the Wiha is damn near perfect for holding your coils while you get them loaded on your RDA or RTA.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I’m gonna get the wiha set. I have some L-keys already but want a handle to make things easier. I go with wiha for quality especially on these tiny sizes. Cheap sets in these tiny sizes break and strip so easy you have to get quality ones if you want them to last more than a week.
