The lift handles are M6. Universal pin spanners work well for the nut, though the holes are 3.5mm while most cheap universal spanners use 4mm pins. You can use those but will need to file the pins down. There are a few out there that are 3mm: http... 
Victor TT 101 vs TT 81
Hi, best grooveIt was a cut caused by a scrape that was under the solder mask, so a manufacturing issue.  Nearly the entire trace was cut, except one small corner at the edge of the solder filet, which cracked right at the very corner causing the ...
