July 22, 20224 yr 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.
July 22, 20224 yr 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, 20224 yr by phetphet

July 22, 20224 yr So its between 3.3 and 3.8mm but not Torx. So 9/64 (+/- 3.5mm) hex head or Allen key.
July 22, 20224 yr 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 ?

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 ???? Edited July 22, 20224 yr by sometimewoodworker
