Do any of you guys know where I can get the .050" Allen wrench separately and not as part of a kit or wrench. *I actually need several of them because 1.) I tend to lose mine and 2.) I owe one to a friend. *This is the size that fits the saddle adjusters on an American Strat. *Hardware stores around here only have them as part of a set or a wrench, in which case I dont want to pay $20-$30 just to get 3 or 4 of them. *Thanks...over and out.

Look in the phone book for "Fastenal".
I used to sell to them, they're all over the country.
There should be several in KY & they can ship to you.
$25-30 should get you a box of 100.

Double-check the size. *Some are metric and some are SAE. *If it's "american" (the only country NOT using the Metric System!), it might be a 3/32".

Measure twice....no stripping the head of the screw. *:-)

Oh, it's not metric, I have a complete set of those and them. *It is specifically listed as a .050 inch Allen wrench. *It is the next size down from 1/16th. *In fact, I have looked numerous times at numerous places and sure enough, each set that has this wrench has it labeled .050". *I'll take some advice on the stores that were listed though. *Thanks.
