Default hex head drivers

I don't have my Hyper 7 PBS yet, but I will on Wednesday. I assume the screws take metric hex wrenches. What sizes do I need to get?

Are there any other parts I should stock up on? Maybe a certain bearing that always seems to go out?

Thanks.

I am not sure about the Hyper, but I just got the new 9.5 Violator and I have already messed up my 1.5mm and 2mm Ball end hex keys. Also you will need a 2.5 hex, and make sure that you have a metric 5.5mm wrench for your standoffs.

Dynamite makes some really good and inexpensive wrenches. For the PBS, you'll want a 2.0, 2.5 and a 3.0. They will run you roughly 7.00 each.

No they don't strip. They are hardened steel. The allen wrenches you are using will strip the heads out in no time.

I just bought the OS wrench set from Tower it was $30 american dollars. Came with long glow plug wrench and 3.0 - 2.5 - 2.0 - 1.5 hex wrenches. Pretty nice set.
