Okluma TinyDC

[nbp]

If you're okay with hex heads these are the ones McGizmo uses; I have these holding a McG clip on my TinyDC. 4-40 x 3/16 Ti screws.

Thank you! In the meantime I received a PM with the following link to the same type of screw made of titanium. A bit pricy though....

If that is for 10 (total, not each), that is pretty reasonable.

I've got a similar pattern coming from a guy named Javan. The stuff I've ordered is stainless. Matt's stuff isn't.

Things are getting pretty dialed in with the aluminum. [emoji2]

Amazing work Jeff.

They are a 10/pack.

 

[gunga]

Oh. Well that's pretty good then!

 

[sigfan]

Yea, I ordered some from them awhile back. They work great and definitely come 10 in a pack.

I think I've been talking to the shop that makes those. Hmm, I wonder what's up...

Yeah... I'd rather have Torx than titanium if I have to choose. I know that the small hex heads work great if you use high quality wrenches. But you can pick up a Torx wrench the right size at your local hardware store, they're forgiving of dirt and grit, and they're about impossible to strip.

I've been trying to get some in Ti, but it's proving difficult.

Is this what you are looking for?

Yes, please, please stick with Torx. I hate the McG ones cuz they strip.

Actually the package of 10 buttons heads are what I was looking for.

MIP/Thorp hex driver: never strip another McG screw.

Hands down best hex drivers made.

 

[Tejasandre]

Which size does the trick?

 

[light-modder]

I believe it's 1/16. I've been eyeing them for a little bit, I need to just get one.

This is very true. MIP/Thorp hex driver is the way to go on the hex head, but the torx head is so much more forgiving, not to mention it's prettier. :)

 

[archimedes]

I think blued screws would look great on the titanium for a pop of color :D

 

[DrafterDan]

Heat blued, like fine watch parts!

 

[KDM]

Jeff I think you made the right call on the bezel change. I like it a lot better without, good call.
