I posted the same question a while back. The wrench comes in the package with the screws, so you can just order a package of screws and you will get the wrench with it. Last time I checked Tower had them in stock, and you could probably find them on ebay too.

0.9mm hex, several options which are better, but not cheaper, than the L-wrenches:
