not necessarily a "great" find, but if you are modding Model M/Fs a nut driver is much nicer than a socket, if a bit more expensive.
both models need the 7/32" and the F has a couple of 9/32" as well.
and, of course, everybody needs a 1/4" for computer case screws!

Nice find and nice price.

When I started working on my M, I picked up a set of nut drivers from a local hobby store. They're a brand I hadn't heard of before (Dynamite). Set I snagged was metric, 4mm, 5mm, 5.5mm, 7mm and 8mm, and was $15 for the set. They seem to be of decent construction.

The 7/32 nut drivers (http://www.clickykeyboards.com/index.cfm/fa/items.main/parentcat/33739/subcatid/0/id/105901) at clickykeyboards are selling for $10.

The ones at clicky look identical to the ones in the set I have. Only difference is that mine have red highlights instead of blue. Shape, finish of the metal, etc are all the same otherwise. Definitely not worth it at those prices, since you can get them so much cheaper elsewhere.
