Does anyone know where I can get some tiny philips head screws to replace the awful grub screws you get in atomizers?
I think they are m2 x 0.4 if that helps.
Thanks

Ebay is a good place to start. Just picked 1st reasonable seller I found. ebay linkI find hex socket head (allen screws) much better and often replacing the cheap ones which are badly made and getting a decent allen key is a better option than pozi drive ones. Much easier to put them back in and assemble. Search ebay for m2 x 4 screws. I assume you meant 4 and not 0.4 .

Often the grubs are used to keep the height limited to the tops of the posts. When shopping for replacements, consider the screw head could add a mm or so to the post height. Some top caps WILL NOT fit and will hard short. Measure twice, buy once.
Good luck

Try www.quicktest.co.uk they do tubs of small screws, or google cousins watch supplies, they also do various small screws. MP

Pezz, If you get better quality grub screws and again as I said a better quality allen key then you will find them much easier to use. The hex will fit the key better and not be so sloppy. izan makes a very good pint about the heads shorting to the cover.
