Holder for Small Setscrew
So i had obtained enough M1.2 setscrews for the rangefinder dial of my Agfa Isolette III. Only problem, they were too long !
They were 4mm long while i needed only 3mm of length. About 1mm had to be cut off with a Dremel tool.
But how to handle such a tiny setscrew during that job ? Fingers are too thick and tweezers have not enough grip.
Here is my answer. I took a mechanical pencil (for 0,5mm lead refills), removed the cap and enlarged the hole in the clamping jaw with a 1mm drill. Next just opened the jaws and inserted the setscrew. A perfect handtool !
