    If its a regular Allen (L) key you'll get it at a decent hardware store. Don't buy the set. just ask for the size you need. you'll have to figure out what size that is

    should be around 1.5-2.0 mm range. get both

    That strat bridge uses very small keys, different from a Floyd. And those sets are crap. You torque them thrice and they're history. Ask for singles, the ones with the gauges (and/or brand) engraved on them. I've been using a floyd pair for over a year and it shows no sign of wearing

    Well the outside diameter is just less than 3mm and inside is just less than 1mm. What should I ask for? I forgot whether the wrench turned from inside or outside?

    Geez, how'd you manage to measure the inside? it's so cramped in there But yeah that's the one you want, the inside. I'm assuming its hex shaped

    you need to measure the largest dia inside. from point to point, not edge to edge. Not sure but I think it should be 1- 1.5 mm, buy both
