    In cases where frequent insertion/removal/adjustment of the screws happens, a paint pen may be an answer. A dab on the screw periphery and a dab on the matching wrench will speed things.

    From my shop reference file...

    HEX WRENCH SIZES

    A = SAE number
    B = hex wrench size for socket head cap screw
    C = hex wrench size for set screw

    A B C

    0 0.050 0.028
    1 1/16 0.028
    2 5/64 0.035
    3 5/64 0.050
    4 3/32 0.050
    5 3/32 1/16
    6 7/64 1/16
    8 9/64 5/64
    10 5/32 3/32

    Use the resistor color code to paint stripes on the wrenches corresponding to the SAE number.
