Does anyone know what size allen/hex key you need to remove the set screws on the Redrock M2 adapter lens mount? I'm sitting in a pile of allen keys which don't fit very frustrated
 
I keep a multi allen wrench in my kit at all times. Much harder to lose and easier to find in the grass.
You don't need to remember what size you need as well. Highly recommended by me anyway.
I hate using allen wrenches because they are too easy to lose.

I carry them in my wallet, thankfully all these manufacturers have pretty much came up with a standard, everything I've seen so far has been either 3/32'' or 5/32''.
 
I'm glad some of the bigger Allen keys aren't required as they're quite heavy. After finding out the wrench key sizes (post 2) i bought a nice 25 piece set only to find that a 1/16th inch hex key isn't the correct size for the flange screws to change lens mounts. Then i saw this: http://shopping.netsuite.com/s.nl/c.472981/it.A/id.395/.f

So actually need a 0.05" hex key. I really wish Redrock would consolidate their information. It's extremely frustrating . So i now have 3 new sets of allen keys to go with the hundred others i've collected over the years. So if anyone needs an allen key you know who to contact. Surely man doesn't need thirty different size allen screws.

Rant Over.
