My local mom 'n pop hardware store thought they didn't have an allen wrench
that small. Then we found one in the model airplane department of the
store. It came with a pair of collets used to keep wheels on an axle, for
instance. I had to buy the collets, too, but seems the whole shebang was
under a buck.
