Ever tried to replace a screw? Finding the exact threading, length, etc?

  fastener measurement is impractical and unrealistic on a device as well documented as an Apple product. A simple search query will find you all of the hardware sizings. As far as measurement being difficult : we're already talking about major disassembly of a device here. These fasteners are small, sure, but I would hope that anyone that is undertaking the task of disassembling whichever expensive product already knows how to manage a magnifying glass and a ruler or caliper. With all that said : with an Apple/Lenovo/Dell product, screw sets can be had on amazon/ebay for extraordinarily cheap. Measurement and fastener acquisition only really happens on one-off models and flighty brands.

    Yabbut, buy the cheap “new” ones and you run a risk of stripping them. And that’s annoying to fix.
