Looking for a quality set of mini / micro wrenches.
« on: Yesterday at 05:10:12 pm »

Looking for a set both SAE and Metric.

Down to 2.5 mm or so.

Looking for a decent set.

So far most I can find look cheap and have poor reviews.

I don't have personal experience with these, but usually try Micro-Tools for such things. Looks like they have sets by Moody, made in USA, in metric down to 2.5mm and SAE down to 5/64. $24 and $18USD. May be cheaper elsewhere.

Are you sure you want a wrench and not a nut driver?  At 2.5mm, something that grabs all six sides might give better feel.  I have and use both.  For really small stuff, I like the driver.  The drivers look like a jeweler's screwdriver.

They are Sears Craftsman lifetime and were bought a long time ago. The working end of the drivers is not chromed.  Of course, Craftsman tools are now made in China and sold by a variety of places, including Lowes.  I would check them out.  Wiha is known as a quality brand.  I have a few of its screwdrivers and like them.  They are pricier.

  Look for ignition wrenches. They were made for working on the small nuts and bolts inside of automobile engine distributors and most brands of them were good quality.  The old Sears Craftsman brand was good stuff before K-Mart took them over and made the Sears brand even worse than the K-Mart brand.
