Tools & Assembly

Assembly Tools

Assembly tools are not included by default for most orders.

To avoid unnecessary waste, we offer a quality metric hex key set as a separate item:

Hex wrenches and/or an adjustable wrench can also come in handy for various sets.
Note that these will have to be sourced locally as applicable.

For a locally sourced/pre-owned hex key (set), there are two items of note:

• Uninsulated keys are preferred.
  Insulated 6mm hex keys can be too thick for the profile slots.

• A Ball head is highly recommended for the 6mm key.
  Many universal connectors are located in longer profiles, or otherwise obstructed from direct access.

Power Tools

Hand Tools, such as Allen wrenches and/or ratcheting tools, are advisable for assembly and overall maintenance.
Power tools like an impact & bit drill are more likely to apply excessive force, strip bolt heads and threads, and/or damage parts and devices.

The MFC and MPS require extra care in this regard:
The internal threaded inserts are very difficult to replace if stripped or otherwise damaged.

Should a power tool still be desired for assembly, it’s recommended to use a low voltage impact drill at the lowest setting until snug, followed by a manual inspection using a hand tool. Regardless, any use of power tools is at your own discretion.

Specific assembly instructions and troubleshooting can be found under https://docs.monster.tech/s/manuals/doc/instruction-manuals-ffOKfWkUkE.

These entries are sorted based on their primary category.
Note that you are not limited to these categories for your setup, and various kits are multi-purpose.

E.g.: https://docs.monster.tech/s/manuals/doc/mouse-extension-for-chair-mount-x5GqrPjT0U is normally used on both Chair and MTS HOTAS side mounts.

Further DIY setups and combinations are likewise possible.
