Im trying to take apart my pocket folder to clean it but I cant find a wrench small enough. A 5/64 inch one fits the tension screw but the one holding the frame together is even smaller. I havent even seen a wrench small enough to fit it in a store tho, where can I fond one? |

I havent even seen a wrench small enough to fit it in a store tho, where can I fond one? If it's US sized, 1/16 & 2 or 3 others that are smaller exist. .028" is the smallest I've used (MMC adjustable pistol sights). If it's metric, standard small sizes are by the half-mm. I'd start with Sears if you have one around. Radio Shuck, maybe, but tools are all probably from China. Get them individually & get more than one...they break easily. hth -hanko |

Quoted: Damn metric! Is it common practice to use both standard and metric size screws on the same thing? No, but 5/64" and 2 mm are so close they're interchangeable, as are 5/32" and [b]4[/b] mm. 1.5 mm would be the next common Metric size down. I find them on things like bicycle brake adjustment geegaws. |

Quoted: I meant allen wrenches not a socket hex wrench LOL! At first I thought you meant allen wrench, and then I reread your post and the replies and I figured you were talking about regular socket hex wrenches. In that case you should be able to find a 1/16" about anywhere. Try Sears or Radio Shack or a store that sells electronics tools. BTW, what kind of pocket folder is it? |
