This is the next atty for me.

Don't shoot me but can the standard pin be used after it is modded?

Actually yes.

I hope not. That would be ecig outpost 'Cruchberry". I'm up to 300ml/month. It's a problem.

@Chowderhead1972 - I've got a question about the Hudy drivers. Would I be able to get away with only buying the .05 and 1.5? I don't own nor plan to own any 14mm attys so I don't see the point in buying the .035. I do have a Derringer but it's collecting dust so not sure I need the 1/16" though I may get it just in case. Don't have a Nectar so I shouldn't need the 2mm. Just trying to buy what I absolutely need to save money.

Any recommendations on which Phillips screwdrivers that are necessary? I have some random ones that I use but I'd like to buy something quality and have the exact sizes I'll need. Or, I guess, the most used sizes.

Any experience with the EDS drivers? I've been reading and have seen a lot of comments claiming that the EDS stuff is on par with Hudy but cost a good bit less. Thanks.

Buy Hudy... I have yet to see a substitute that I would hold in similar regard. If it means you need to buy fewer drivers to begin with so be it. A 1.5mm and a .050" will take care of most attys that use hex.

Guess I'll just shell out for the Hudys then. Thanks.

Which size should I get for Phillips?

3mm or 3.5mm

I have both but prefer the 3mm although they are hard to find.

Best investment yet spend a few extra bucks now and most likely you will never have to buy again. I never leave the house without them.

 

[jhhollier]

Yeah, I'm just gonna suck it up and go with Hudy. I'll get the .05 and 1.5 hex and a 3mm Phillips and buy more when needed.

Is any place cheaper that you've found?

Not yet. The prices only seem to differ by a few cents, if that.

Amain has always been good to me fast shipping and take PP.

I use both stormer and amain, I find the pricing to be the same once you add shipping to stormer.

I foresee switching to all grubs within a month.

I know this is a dumb question but what size fits the Stumpy screws(1.5mm or 0.05'')? And typically what is the other one for?

Tom, did you get my email?

Stumpy uses m3 grubs which require a 1.5mm driver. The .050" is used for the thump, derringer, rematty and many others that use 4-40 or m2.5 grubs.

Tom, did you get my email?

Looking now, just woke up.
