Allen Wrenches

[Boghog1]

Okay, even though it was an awesome day at the range I am a bit PO'd that my allen wrench set didn't have the wrench needed for the adjustment on the brides laser sight on her M&P is there a special set of Allen wrenches just for shooters? I have both Metric and SAE I just want a set up the range bag with the right tools

 

[RImike]

It might be a half metric size (1.5mm for example) or a torx bit

 

[SalemCat]

And you will have to buy an entire set when you need just one.

what is the size you need per the laser. I know crimson uses a really small screw that is not a common. I believe those are .030 and the smallest most sets have are .050

If it's anything like my Crimson Trace on another gun, it takes the smallest allen wrench I have ever seen. If I ever lose it, I will have CT send me another! Not saying you won't find one elsewhere, but I've never seen one this small.

Or you may have a different laser. In that case...nevermind.

Wrench size 0.05

0.05" maybe?

just take the pistol to your nearest sears and pick out the wrench that matches! or not. but yeah, it's probably a fractional size.

I have the Armalaser GTO, I thought I had every ficken size ever made since I was a tech and 12v electronics installer for 15ish years but holy hell this thing was some oddball size 1mm or 1.25mm or some SAE fractionalal is my guess since my 1/16th, 1mm and 1.5mm didn't fit

Just checked. The wrench for my CT is .028!

I called CT about what size for my grips as I bought the gun with grips previously installed.
The women simply said ,"it's easier if you give me your address and I will send some" thank you I said.....then she said " oh and when you get them don't keep all of them in on spot,ESPECIALLY IN YOUR RANGE BAG"
Few days later I received a envelope with 15 tiny little wrenches...3 bags of 5.
It's a fact no matter what you have for tools eventually you won't have what you need.

I got a pretty good assortment of various bits for work.....but I did not have the tiny triple square bit that needs to be on a long screwdriver smaller than 1/4" shank ........wtf I say.

Looked it up......sure as shit special service tool number 27456 or some shit......oh boy.

So far I have only lost 2.....both at the range. One in the range bag the other I dropped ....... no magnet on hand and it was no where to be found! It's small.

What's an allen wrench? Do they have a AAA for guns? If not, I'd just take it to a gun repair shop.

Hex key is the proper term.
Allen key or wrench is also used

 

[Golddiggie]

Just get either of these kits and don't worry about it again...

I've used Allen wrenches in my job for years and Bondhaus makes the best hex key by far out of any brand. They have a ball end on them so you can spin them and get into tight areas. They will have a set with the right size.

I put a small piece a colored duct tape on mine, around the long end, near the bend, with a little "tail" sticking out. That was after I lost my first one, right at my feet, standing on a concrete pad. The thing is tiny.

Dupe........

Wadsworh makes a great ratchet set. Tops for gun smithing.

The response from Armalaser was for $3 we will send you another. not what I call customer service

And you will have to buy an entire set when you need just one.

If you know what size you need any industrial supply place will sell you singles.
