[TenTec] Allen Wrench

[N4NT]

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.
