In my current case, I need to identify this set screw used on F931B knobs. I can undo most of them with a 1.5 mm hex key, but there are some more tight where the key slips. Diameter seems to be 3.5 mm, so perhaps this is a metric set screw and the matter is I need better quality metric hex keys. Long is about 4.78 mm which looks a lot like 3/16 however. Then this would probably be an imperial screw and I would probably need a set of imperial hex keys, particularly a 1/16" one. I'm getting it anyway, but it would be nice to have confirmation about what kind of screw this is. From a more general point of view, it would be nice if a compilation of different screws, etc, used in vintage Fluke, HP, Tektronix, (put your favorite brand here) could be made,with links to providers if possible, and compatible replacements. A little bit like the sticky threads on this section. Alas, I have been unable to find much about this matter in these useful threads. |

imperial allen keys go down to 1/64" increments |

Google Wiha hex key sets: 35392 Metric, 35393 Imperial. Amazon has them and they are what I use for all set screws. |

1/64" increments? Wow, fine fine tangerine. In looking at this: https://www.amazon.com/Bondhus-16936-Balldriver%C2%AB-L-wrenches-BriteGuard/dp/B000E7ZQ8U/ref=sr_1_15 Hoping they will be good enough. |

If it is 3.5mm OD it could be 4BA which used Imperial keys George Edmonds |
