Jay,

As Mike indicated, the two smallest Bristol drivers are four-flute instead of 
six.  The smallest knobs (usually the locks) on a lot of military sets use 
them.  O-16 and O-17/ART-13 come to mind.  You probably need the 0.050 Bristol 
driver.  The Walsco and GC wrench sets came with them, as did the Xcelite one.  
Some of my Xcelite drivers are wound up from loosening locking knobs on the 
oscillators, and also on Command Set transmitters.
