Cheap but decent 7/32 nut driver
« on: Thu, 11 November 2010, 11:20:15 »
Does anyone know where I can get one for cheap?  I don't want to spend $20 on this with most of it from shipping.  The standard kits are too big and won't fit for the model m's.

Any from home depot or amazon would be awesome.  I'm willing to invest in a kit also.

I picked up one from Clickykeyboards along with some keycaps. Shipping was reasonable.

Home Depot, Lowes, HFT, Walmart, no one local had one, even when asked.

I had a thread on this a while back. Drillspot.com has a Wiha softtouch 5.5mm nutdriver for something like 5 bucks with free (quite fast) shipping. I wasn't able to find a better deal after a thread on this and about 30 minutes of searching. The Wiha is very good quality (made in Germany) and I didn't have any problems with Drillspot.

In fact, here's the link

OK, mine is $12 with shipping.  It's a true 5.5mm and is the choice of professional electricians everywhere.

Live it up.

Made in the USA - Germans don't know squat about good tools

This isn't a competition Rip, I'm sure either choice is fine. I personally would rather spend 5 instead of 12 because I probably won't use it more than 2-3 times more.

I did the same, although I had to use the longer socket.
