How do you screw in an M4 screw? Fixing controller

[Briankbl]

So I lost the screw that holds the tablet holder in place in the center of the controller. Went to Home Depot, bought some M4 screws and locknuts. However, I just got home and realized these screws aren't philips or flat heads... I'm not good with tools and such, and I'm confused how I'm supposed to tightly screw this in here. Pics attached. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Not a 'screw', it's a nut and bolt...........use a spanner......

I've never even heard of a spanner lol. I'll look into it, thanks!

Or you could use a Craftsman model 1019 Laboratory Edition Signature Series torque wrench. Calibrated by top members of the state AND federal Department of Weights and Measures... to be dead on balls accurate!

Be sure to use maximum allowable torqueage

Take a mini grinder grind a line into bolt so you can use a screw driver to tighten bolt.

Why not buy a screw in the first place?.......

For an M4? Are you mad? That would require the model 1020b wrench. You know you just look silly when you make posts like that. Lol.

socket wrench.

Metric crescent wrench only. Not SAE. SAE crescent wrench will void your Chinese warranty.
