The Wheeler Engineering Bench Top Hex Screwdriver Set (Wheeler part no. 4005280) is a 10-piece hex driver kit built for the home gunsmithing bench, covering the range of hex screw sizes commonly found on scope rings, bases, grips, and other firearm hardware. Instead of hunting through a generic hardware-store bit set for a size that’s close enough, this kit is purpose-built around firearm-specific hex fastener sizes, reducing the risk of stripping a screw head with an ill-fitting driver. A bench-top handle gives better leverage and control than a folding multi-tool for precision torque work like mounting a scope or tightening a stock action screw. It’s a practical addition to any home reloading or gunsmithing bench.
