BWD Micro Barrel Nuts/Widener Kits - Update

Edited my last post to include this

"Also, any nut orders received by 5:00 today should out today. If you have other items in your order it may delay it to tomorrow as it won't leave much time to process, package, and make it to the post office before 6."<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
 
I got mine too! They are awesome, and they fit perfectly. I didn't expect to see these until next week, but lo and behold I got a BWD box in my mail today. Thanks Don!!!

Actually an update: The new nuts are 0.01" bigger on the hex, which means some nut drivers won't work. It's a bit annoying for me because I only have one nut driver that's this small and it's now too small. I suppose I'll just have to buy something bigger. Better than nothing I guess.

Cough... Cough... What and where thread. ;)
 
Cough cough, wasn't budgeting for a new tool set. It's literally a 0.01" of a difference that makes these not fit my old driver. Kind of annoying, but not enough to hate these nuts (on the contrary, I am SUPER happy to have my 4WS back). Basically if I was going to rate them, I'd give them a 8/10 because you need a new driver.

Speaking of which, what's the correct size driver for these new nuts?
 
5mm. And you can buy the wiha nut drivers Seperately. The 5mm is $7.56. You could just use needle nose though. Theres a link in the wawtb thread if you want that driver. You may find one cheaper on amazon. I'd take a picture of the nuts mounted, but you can't see the nuts for the bwd weights.

The problem I have is I'm using BWD's wheels and they leave no room for pliers. Guess I'll have to pick up a 5mm driver from the LHS today...and then try out my 4WS again!!!
