In the time that I've spent building multirotors, I've found myself working with the following screws over and over:
M3 socket head
M3 button head
M2 socket head
After suffering with cheap allen wrenches for the better part of a year, I finally had enough and purchased three Wera Hex-Plus Screwdrivers in the following sizes:
2.5 mm
2.0 mm
1.5 mm
I can't believe that I waited for so long to acquire quality tools for a task that I am constantly performing. While, in the past, I cringed at the thought of removing the screws holding my top plate down, today it's an effortless task. Even threadlocked screws are easily dealt with using these drivers.
The handles on the larger two drivers have a tacky feel to them making them easy to grip tightly while the end of the smaller driver rotates so that the driver can be rotated using one's fingers.
The fit is flawless; there is never fear of stripping and screws are never difficult to remove from the head.
Finally, these drivers are readily available (I purchased mine from Amazon), relatively inexpensive ($7 to $10 depending on the size), and they look cool. Of all of the tools I've acquired for building quads, these screwdrivers brought the most value for the buck and I highly recommend them.
