Hi!

I have huge problems repairing my pins as the nuts, bolts, and so forth, all seem to be in US Customary size. I ordered a set of hex drivers from Marcos and that solved some problems, but I still have a few issues. Could someone please be so kind as to send me what size (in US Customary) tools are needed for general pinball repair (particularly the hex wrench for flippers).

Thanks!

5/32 allen wrench for WPC flippers
also:
1/4" nutdriver
5/16" nutdriver
11/32" nutdriver
3/8" nutdriver
#1 and #2 Phillips screwdriver
#1 and #2 (or equivalent) common screwdriver

other assorted pliers, wrenches, etc.

See the "what's in your tool kit" thread:

If access to US nuts and bolts is hard, it might be worth picking up this:

Gives you a bit of everything in the common sizes.

Quoted from cody_chunn:

1/4" nutdriver
5/16" nutdriver
11/32" nutdriver
3/8" nutdriver
#1 and #2 Phillips screwdriver
#1 and #2 (or equivalent) common screwdriver

and if you can get them in magnetic that's a real plus....especially the Phillips screwdrivers.
