Introduction
There are many different types and sizes of hex screwdrivers, and the size that you need will depend on the screws that you are trying to remove. The most common sizes are 3/16, 1/4, 5/16, and 3/8, but there are other less common sizes as well. If you are not sure what size you need, it is best to bring the screw that you need to remove with you to the store so that you can find a screwdriver that fits it perfectly.
What is a PS4?
The PlayStation 4 (PS4) is the latest home video game console from Sony Computer Entertainment. Announced as the successor to the PlayStation 3 in February 2013, it was launched on November 15, in North America, November 29 in Europe, South America and Australia, and February 22, 2014, in Japan. It competes with Microsoft’s Xbox One and Nintendo’s Wii U and Switch.
What is a Hex Screwdriver?
A hex screwdriver is a type of screwdriver with a hexagonal-shaped tip. It is used to drive screws with hexagonal heads, such as hex head screws. Hex head screws are common in many applications, including automotive, plumbing, and electronics.
What Size Hex Screwdriver is Needed for a PS4?
Using the proper size hex screwdriver is important when working with PS4s. The most common size is the 4mm hex driver, but you may also need a 5mm or 6mm hex driver. The best way to determine which size you need is to check the owner’s manual or look online for the specifications for your particular model.
How to Use a Hex Screwdriver on a PS4?
When you are using a hex screwdriver on a PS4, you need to make sure that the tip of the screwdriver is the same size as the screws that you are trying to remove. If the tip of the screwdriver is too small, it will slip out of the head of the screws and strip them. If the tip of the screwdriver is too large, it will not fit into the head of the screws.
Tips for Using a Hex Screwdriver on a PS4
When using a hex screwdriver on a PS4, it is important to keep the following tips in mind:
– Always use the correct size hex screwdriver for your PS4 screws. Using a hex driver that is too small can strip the heads of the screws, making them difficult to remove.
– Be careful not to over-tighten the screws when reassembling your PS4. Tightening the screws too much can damage the internal components of the console.
– Make sure the hex driver is firmly seated in the head of the screw before applying pressure. This will help prevent stripping anddamage to the console.
Conclusion
After doing a bit of research, we have come to the conclusion that the best hex screwdriver size for a PS4 is 4.5mm. This size is small enough to fit in the screws without stripping them, but is large enough to provide good torque.
