    That's very unusual. Where in the country are you?

    Caulfields industrial should have them or radionics.

    Are you sure it's metric? The smallest I've come across is a 0.049'' which is somewhere between 1.2-1.3mm.

    The smallest metric I've readily come across is 1.5mm, which is about 0.060''.

    Try lidl or aldi. One of them had a ten piece set recently. The smallest one was tiny.

    The smallest regular allen key I have is 1.5mm. However, I do have a precision screwdriver set, the kind that has the interchangeable tips and it says it has a 1mm allen key. It's very small.

    I'm in Swords if you need it.

    im 93.21345% sure its a 1mm.
    I have 2mm keys at home and its nowhere near fitting.
    Then again, if you take 0.1mm from each of the 5 sides would make it a 1.5mm.

    I just know its tiny and bloody fiddley

    Cheers to all that replied.

    Happy to supply both the 1.5 and the 1mm just in case. Not permanently though, would like them back next week sometime in case I come across my own need sometime.
