Seriously....you got SAE and metric, and then about a dozen different sizes. This one is just a little too small. That one is a skosh too big. This one works, but it might be a metric and the screw is SAE, so I might strip it.
It's a fucked up system! You know right off the bat if it's Phillips or flat blade. Easy to tell a #2 from a #3. Allen should rot in hell.
