1.27 MM for the smallest one.. have to buy/order online.. not sure of the parts number, i think its called Pinion and Tool set.. comes with 2 or 3 pinions, 3 allens and 4 way driver.. the other sizes are.. 2 mm for the next one, unsure on the 3rd n bigger one, havent gotten around to using it i think..

Ive actually been looking for a decent hex driver for that smallest .05" size. i keep stripping the allen wrenches that come with the kit and none of my sets have a hex driver that small. I didn't see a set with all the sizes but came across these. I may pick these up if I don't find anything at homedepot..which i doubt http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...ProdID=DYN2820 http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...ProdID=DYN2815 the Dynamite 2.5mm is out of stock separately so this is the next cheapest at $4 more http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...ProdID=DYN2902 So $13 before shipping for all 3 Last edited by spoo76; 06-23-2011 at 03:02 PM. |

I have these. It's been a couple of years and so far so good. http://www.dynamiterc.com/Products/D...ProdID=DYN2904 FYI, this set does not include the .05. I just posted the link to show the brand and finish. |

I've used Dynamite tools before and they work well. They have nice grip but may be overkill for a micro. I find the machined handle ones can be a bit pricey locally as well. Bondhus makes decent drivers for around $1.50 CAD if you can find a distributor near you. Bondhus Catalog Part# 10602 is the .050" driver. |

I used both Dynamite and Integy with great results. Someone posted .05mm, its not metric, its .050 inch. |

I've heard of others using 1.3mm in place of the .050" but ive never seen a 1.3mm hex personally. Edit - Actually.... http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_from=R4...All-Categories I would still suggest the .050" it fits great. |
