Default Screwdrivers Needed for Caldera 3.0

I am about to purchase a Redcat Caldera 3.0 and I was wondering what kind and size of screwdrivers I will need. Are any of the screws standard or are they all metric? I need to know what size phillips, flathead, allan, and hex sized bits I will need to completely disassemble the entire thing.

Go and get some craftsman, matco, or snap on ones, i try to avoid tools that i cant readily replace, and that have a warranty (i belive i saw one on the site, im just saying i wont buy tools without a warenty), you will eventuly wear them out. Fyi avoid harbor freight tools, yes they have a warranty, but Ive found them to be inferior to any other brand of tools.

With hex drivers (especially the tiny sizes we're dealing with) you want a good tool. A warranty is great for replacing your tools, but if they're made of a soft metal they'll round out your screws and you'll be drilling them out. After trying a few different ones I've actually been using this set (from Harbor Freight) and they work great haven't rounded a screw yet.
