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

Caulfields industrial should have them or radionics.

Unusual, yes. I agree.

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.

Smallest I've seen is an 0.050 imperial (1.27mm). Never knew there was a 1mm

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.
