I use a mini screwdriver set from the dollar store. Works excellent because you can use them as rods to center your builds as well. Another bonus is that they tighten down the Phillips head screws much better than those small blue ones that the clones come with.

As for coil size, I prefer 2.5mm to 3mm diameters depending on kanthal gauge. The gauge, resistance and wattage all depend on what kind of vape you like. For creamy/custard flavours I like a hot/warm dense vape. For fruit/sweet flavours I prefer a cool/light vape. So wattages would be 60-80w for the former and 20-40w for the latter.

Good luck!
