I've got two keys, one is 7/32 and one is 1/4. I've got something that needs undoing which seems to fall between these sizes! The 7/32 can turn slightly in the hole, the 1/4 won't fit in at all.

Is there another unit of measurement available for these? If so does anybody know which size would fall between these two?

I hate it when this happens, spend 15mins googling and don't find anything - so I post the question on a forum.

30seconds after clicking "Post", I find my answer:

It appears a 6mm falls between these two sizes.

Thanks anyway

I'm guessing you've tried 6mm?
