Some cases come with an accessory-a small metal piece compatible with a Phillips #2 screwdriver-that fulfills this same role, but not all do. Believe us, nothing stokes deep rage like when a standoff gets stuck as you try to remove a mobo for an RMA return.
Also, later maintenance on your system may require it.
Think a spinning standoff will never happen to you? Readjustments can come up during building. Too much and you risk stripping the screw threads on the standoffs. No need to overtighten, either just a bit past when the standoff first hits the metal of the case. Before you mount the motherboard, slip it over the standoffs and ensure each one is firmly attached to the case. But if you own a hex nut driver in the right size, you can avoid that time and irritation.
