[Odigo]

Can anyone recommend a standard motherboard standoff screwdriver? Preferably from Amazon.

I couldn't find one on Amazon quickly, it just gives a bunch of results for M.2 stuff.

isnt it just an m3 hex driver?

yea, just whatever size hex you are trying to tighten just find that size driver. You aren't going to find such a thing as 'standard motherboard standoff screwdriver'.

This is just good to have anyways.

I grabbed one of those I fixit kits a couple years ago and have no regrets whatsoever. Some of the bit tips I don't recognize and have never encountered but when I finally do I'll be good.

I always just used pliers... . For some reason the thought of a hex wrench never occurred to me.

Go to link get a Klein branded electrician's Philips screwdriver.

Sometimes those guys can be hard to drive with a regular screwdriver. Get one of these for some extra umph:

If you do any electrical work the Kein insulated set might save your behind if the circuit is live or when a slip of the tip may cause a short.

I was gonna recommend a similar iFixit kit. This one will do just fine.

$70 and still doesnt have the bit he needs. Way overpriced for what it is imo.

Funny you should mention it -- ltt's screwdriver doesn't come with a hex driver, and they don't sell one either. Does come with some Allen drivers ("H2," "H2.5," & "H4"), though.

Sarcasm doesn't come through on here very well...

I have a $15 set that looks about the same that I got from my local mom and pop true value.

I've never found those sort of adapters easy to use. I'd rather just get a set of small nut drivers.

I'm not sure if the standoffs are metric or inch sizes, but suspect for screwing into sheet metal the 'wrong' next size up driver will work well enough.

Cheap examples I found on amazon, but I suspect you'd be fine with even cheaper chinesium ones from fleabay/temu/etc.

Nut driver bits that work with your existing interchangeable screwdriver are also an option.
