If they are a standard 1/4" hex, you should be able to get one at just about any home center or hardware store.

Not sure if they are, the web listings I can find don't seem to spell that part out.

Good to know. I was about to go to both Lowes and HD.

I bought a set of torx, metric hex and SAE hex off of Amazon.

They all fit fine in the wrench and the screws.

The brand was AEJ

They standard 1/4" hex any of them from the hardware store will work.

Be careful torquing small screws like those.  I stripped out the torx splines on an optic mount, trying to reach their "recommended" torque setting.  I think small screws should only be tightened firmly.
