This is really strange.

This has been a strange night but anyways...

My Allen Wrench Index does not have a size I need. :| The fix screws are too small for a 1.3mm and too big for a 0.9. I know some smartass is going to say it's a 1, 1.1 or 1.2. :p Problem is I don't have them in sight! On the English side of things, the 0.050 is too big and the 0.035 is too damn small! GRRRR!

This is freaking frustrating! Does anyone have a set with sizes in between?

Cheers!

too true,and Very possible that a small Torx will work,even if it was hex/allen.

Small sized stuff is always a pain.

Usually they put non standard screws on stuff they don't want you to open.

I had to replace an ignition module on a 1985 Mercury Cougar once. Thought I had the tool but it required a special hex driver made by Ford for that part. $8 for a stupid tool that I used once and is still sitting at the the bottom of my tool box.

Well it's an important part and I'm authorised to work on it for heaven's sake. It's definitely Allen.

I have submitted a request for a proper tool and should have it in hand shortly. :)

Cheers!
