And I just now did hit a page with some size specs. Looks like T15 is as big as I can shoot for. The thru hole in the extension is a good fit for a 3.5 mm allen wrench. Drilling it out to 3.8 for a T-20 would be pushing my luck. T-15 is .128" across the peaks. This is gonna be fun I suspect, depending on ones definition of "fun"...
