DAA Racer Pouch Screw Size

[hermes_actual]

Does anyone know the screw size/thread pitch for the DAA Racer pouch belt attachment? The 2.5 mm heads are prone to stripping and I'd like to find something better. I haven't heard back from DAA. Thanks.

First, try a metric allen from one of your tool sets, the DAA one seems a tad smaller. If the screw heads are stripped, head down to your local ACE hardware with your belt attachment and start trying sizes until you find what you are looking for. My go to for hardware. I'd bet that a good tool will solve your problem.

Thanks. My metric allen wrenches are very good. It's the screw hex head that's a bit larger than 2.5mm. Thanks.

Thanks. Nice to know it's not just me!

Your best bet may be to take a screw and go to a local hardware store and buy good replacements

Agreed, and if you can find some with a Torx head they will be better.

For follow up, the screw is M4, 12 mm. I got some hex head screws at Home Depot. The heads sit a little more proud than the DAA, but nothing significant. They are 3 mm hex instead of 2.5 mm and deeper so I don't expect them to strip.

Might be worth it to get a decent set of Allen keys too. Many of the tools that ship with parts are not exactly to specification. If they are slightly undersized then it can cause deformation of the screw head when tightening.
