As I collect more flashlights, I'm finding I don't have the tools small enough to do things. Is there a tool set or something out there you guys have bought?
For example, I bought this Reylight MK3 mini and bought a titanium anodized clip to go with it but those blue screws are Star shaped and so small. Also, I can't find needle nose pliers with small enough tips to get the tail switched out of Convoys (to change to a metal button). And other random things.

Torx set that came with 2 sets of tweezers. You could also look at a pair of snap ring pliers.
Wiha is the classic recomendations, I’m gonna go ahead and suggest similar but different. Wera, either a set of their compact torx drivers or a combo bit set, I like them better than wiha but they’re of equal quality.
I don’t have a relight but those look like torx bits. You can get a cheap precision bit set with torx bits for $5 online. If you are in the US and want something local, the Quinn brand precision driver sets at Harbor Freight are decent for the price… especially when on sale.
We use ifixit at work for small screws, we deal with a lot of small Allen heads. Not sure about tweezers though, wouldn’t a tiny flat head do the same thing?
