I cannot imagine it would be hard to buy imperial measure Allen keys in USA ! Even in VK land where "standards" of measure are very dubious. (officially all metric) Our signposts in Kilometres, goods sold by the Kilogram, Timber by the metre, - but they still talk about 4 x 2's and 6 x 8 ft sheets of chipboard..... Now, go in the ironmongers for nuts and bolts and the odds are you will find them with BSW threads, a size now very difficult to get in England where they originated! I wonder why Elecraft used "inch" measure Allen screws?? when all the other threads in the K3 are metric.- Perhaps they had similar problems!
