As you can see in this photo (Sorry about the blur but this is the best I could take

with the only camera I got),

Try holding your phone physically further away from the thing you're taking a photo of, and pinch-zooming in if you want it to fill the frame.

Looks like you can get it with pliers, a socket, or a small wrench.

I have had a Raspberry Pi 4B fitted with an Ice Tower cooler for a long time now.

Sadly, I lost the tools to get the screws off so its currently stuck together.

 

I could buy another Ice Tower cooler and use the tools it comes with but

I must be able to buy the tools I need separately.

As you can see in this photo (Sorry about the blur but this is the best I could take

with the only camera I got), its a tiny hex knut I need unscrewed from my Pi.

Does anyone know exactly what kind of tool I need?

 

Thank you.

I sold my soul for ProSupport.

if you cant get those off with just any old set of pliers you fastened them too tight in the first place.

 

as for 'the correct tool for the job'.. just get yourself a cheapo monkey wrench from the local hardware store, just get whatever the smallest they have is.

Thankfully, I managed to loosen them with a pair of pliers then took them off with my fingers.

Thanks.
