I lost my hex screwdriver for the Molecule and customer support was no help. The screws are M2 sized, but the driver itself is smaller, but I have no way of measuring it. Has anyone bought a replacement elsewhere?

M2 is the size. A 2mm driver absolutely will not fit.
My smallest hex wrench is 1.27mm, and it's too big. It's gotta be .9mm or possibly .7mm. I just don't want to buy the wrong thing.
The width is labeled as M2 size. Please ask your local electronics supply or mobile phone repair store if they carry mobile device repair screwdrivers.

I found this site. I bought a .9mm hex driver based on it. Really hope it is accurate...have not got the driver yet. Under "Metric Set Screws":
Ugh I just posted this earlier this week but I haven't had the time to go out to a hardware store to find one.
All the 3mm hex keys from my vape stuff are too big.
I'm pretty sure you need a 2mm sized hex key (non Torx).
I'm planning on going to find one tonight after work and I'll let you know if no one here has responded with a definitive answer.
It's definitely smaller, my 1.27mm hex wrench is too big.
Shit eh. How small do you think it is?
It's too bad they don't even offer extra screws and the screwdriver on their site.
.9mm and .7mm are the next sizes down. I'm probably going to buy this set and hope the screws are a standard size.
And yeah, I was underwhelmed with the support I received. Kind of a disappointment since I like the device.
I can confirm that 0.9mm hex wrenches work.
Apparently they will make the screws and driver available soon in one of their comments, but the info on their website is downright wrong in terms of screw sizes.
Try a .9mm. Worked for me. Got it from a glasses repair kit.
Awesome, thank you so much!
