allen key drivers smller than 1.5mm

(1/2) > >>

portside II:
Hi i recently bought a static dive sub which has the magnetic quick release connectors on the control lines.The only trouble is the grub screws are smaller than my smallest driver (1.5mm) , and after one connector came off and the grub screw disapered somewhere on my workshop floor i drilled nd tapped it for a 1.5mm grub.But the rest of the screws are still there holding, and i would like to be able to service them.
So my question is where do i find a decent 1mm allen screw driver ?daz

Ralph:
I had a similar problem years ago.  I took a cheap 1.5mm allen key (the metal wasn't very hard as it was real cheapy) and filed each face to give a tapered end to it.  Not very accurate but the taper gave it enough of a grip to work.

Fastelectrics:
You can get these sets from Ebay. I cannot vouch for the quality however.

Try Chronos or Tracy Tools or Blackgates or Reeves, nemesis

Nordlys:
In my experience when you get down to small sizes such as this they generally have slotted grub screws?
