    Our beloved RED cameras and accessories use an assortment of torx, hex, slotted and philips screws, in both metric and imperial sizes. I got a little fed up hunting for the right tool the other day, and decided to fix myself up properly. I can't be alone on that?

    Now I'm sure if Red added a little custom tool like this with just the right collection of metric, imperial, torx, hex, etc to the store it would end up in the pocket of every owner. Call it a Red Army knife and anodise it black - you know the deal ;)



    Or do what I did; raid the local tool store and hack together a custom set out of four different multi-tools... just a thought :)

    Those cinema oxide ones are identical to the type I found in my local hardware store - so cheap I didn't feel bad about wrecking a few for my convenience. Its all about having them in one place IMHO.

    I'll pick up three tonight!!! :D

    Of course, they have to come with screw mounts too to hold the extra machine bolts too. And to be bolted onto the body or rods somewhere!!! :D

    Perfect. Would be perfect to just keep on you when on location shooting for a quick solution.
