I've had the misfortune today to try to get a drive cog off of an electric motor, it is only held on with a smallish allen bolt onto a flat on the shaft. The trouble is, I do not have any allen keys that fit it - I've got a quite extensive range of imperial (af?) and metric keys, but none of these will fit the bolt.Someone at work thought that it could be a UNF bolt, which have a different head size to usual AF imperial allen bolts. Doing a quick search of a couple of online retailers shows no specific allen keys other than AF and metric - are there any other sizes available? And if they are available, where from? Thanks Alan.
