Does anyone locally own really small hex keys / allen wrenches for electronics, or know where to buy them?

I have a flashlight with a screw on pocket clip I want to remove. It's secured with tiny hex screws. In imperial sizing, I've tried a 1/16 key that was too big, and a 3/64 was too small. In metric I tried a 1.0mm that was too big.

I went to Home Depot and the only close one they had was metric 1.0mm.

Your statements are not logical.

"3/64 was too small. In metric I tried a 1.0mm that was too big"
= 1.2mm was too small. In metric I tried a 1.0mm that was too big

I probably have the key are looking for, but I can't guess which size it is you need,

There is also no such thing as a 3/64" or 1.0mm hex key.

they call them precision type...

i got one from canadian tire called mastercraft precision bit driver set 30 in one.

PN 057-3519-6...i was looking for the torx one specifically but they only had the set...it was around 10bux if i recall...

the smallest hex head is 0.7mm, but theres 0.9, 1.3, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 and 4mm
