robblok Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I checked all my tools and cant find it. Is this size available ? I need to remover a screw from a reel and T20 is too big and T15 is too small. I used all of my set (4!!) of different keys and none fit even Imperial as the reeel is US made. Does anyone have an idea or link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sometimewoodworker Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 There is no Torx socket size between 15 and 20 there are Torx nuts but no sockets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robblok Posted July 22, 2022 Author Share Posted July 22, 2022 Maybe not torq but an other socket. I tried these too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phetphet Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) You confused me by giving T sizes. It looks to be around 3mm or 4mm ordinary hexagon or Allen key socket. But it may be an imperial size rather than metric. Are your keys metric? You might need to find a set of imperial ones. Maybe 1/8" , 5/32", or even 3/16" They sell them in HomePro. EDIT. I see you already tried imperial. Edited July 22, 2022 by phetphet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
degrub Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Likely a 3.5 mm hex key socket given that it is between the two T sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petermik Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Allen key socket for sure..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that the T sizes are measured point to point and Allen key wrenches are measured AF ( across flats ) I would wager it is a 3mm or 1/8” Allen wrench . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VocalNeal Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 So its between 3.3 and 3.8mm but not Torx. So 9/64 (+/- 3.5mm) hex head or Allen key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
degrub Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 From what i could see of the tips, was the H3 too small and the 1/8 hex key , i assume on the cluster, also too small ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are quite a few non metric sizes and if you have a tight fastener the wrong size is quite capable of rounding the socket. I probably have the correct size as I have virtually every one of the smaller sizes, but, sorry, you need to be here ????
