Get ignition wrenches, both SAE and Metric. They do the trick. :)

try this for little wrenches - this set goes down to 4mm - they have some other stuff as well including wrenches down to 5/64" and nut drivers down to 3/32" and 2mm.

Thought I would Post a Pic of my most Commonly Used Tools.....
Except for the Red handled Snap-On Mini Expandable Pliers, everything is fairly inexpensive....
I use other tools, but These are my Primary friends...
