Don,

On the other hand, Wikipedia says:
Hex keys are measured across-flats (AF), which is the distance between 
two opposite (parallel) flat sides of the key. Standard metric sizes are 
defined in ISO 2936:2001 "Assembly tools for screws and nuts—Hexagon 
socket screw keys", also known as DIN 911, and, measured in millimetres 
(mm) are:


0.7, 0.9, 1.0, 1.25, 1.3, 1.5
2 to 6 in 0.5 mm increments
7 to 22 in 1 mm increments
24, 25, 27, 30, 32, 36, 42 and 46 mm.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hex_key

So 1,25 mm does exist in the metric world and in my set there is one but 
I have the imperial set as well, including 0.05"


However, I do have kept the supplied wrenches for my K2 and KX3 apart 
together with some spare nuts and bolts...

David,

I don't believe you will find a proper fitting wrench in a set of metric
Allen wrenches.  1mm is too small and 1.5mm is too big :-) .  Those with
only metric wrenches should guard the ones that come with the K1 (K2,
KX1, K3, KX3 etc.) carefully.

I have just measured mine, George, and it is 1.25mm, or 0.050" for
folks who are still using Imperial measurements.
