Title: Avet HX hex-key size
Post by: Dan on March 14, 2010, 05:59:04 PM
Hi,

Maybe this is a silly question, but what size are the hex-key screws on the Avet HX? I have a minimal set of imperial-size keys. 5/64" is too small and 3/32" is too large.

The metric ones 3mm is too large and 2.5mm is too small (unless I'm put the keys in the incorrect place, I don't have anything handy to control meassure it).

Thanks

hi, dan.  so it has to be standard/imperial/sae.  i think that 3/32 should fit.  check the bit and the allen head screw for burrs. also, take a look at the picquic site.  i have full sets of their 3 inch bits.  they're great!  alan

fyi: 7/64" was the magic number that my crappy imperial set was missing :-)
