Hardware stores - Possible to get a single imperial allen key

irlforum · 2010-06-19 21:01:31

Hi, I need a 3/32 for one job - looking around on ebay and there all really dear to ship. Just wondering can you pick up single imperials in stores around Ireland usually? If not I'll just put through the ebay order. Thanks.

a 2mm allen key might do the trick.

3/32 is 2.3 mm might be risky though.

No the metric one would not do the trick. I bought a good quality set in Caufield for only about 7 or 8 euro so I was happy.
