Really small hex keys / allen wrenches?
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.
