Parts:
- ball-end hex driver 2 mm · tool
- ball-end hex driver 2.5 mm · tool
- ball-end hex driver 3 mm · tool
- plain hex driver 2.5 mm · tool
Do:
- Put ball-end drivers in 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 mm on the bench.
- The 2.5 mm driver does the most work in the build.
- Keep the kit's L-wrenches as backup where a handle will not fit.
Check
2, 2.5 and 3 mm ball-end drivers on the bench, plus a plain 2.5 mm where ball ends would cam out under load.
What you're looking at
Manual p.9, the drivers. A ball-end driver has a spherical tip that turns a screw at an angle, the only way to reach several joints in this frame. A plain hex tip grips more of the socket, for when you need force.
