At the exhortation of my luthier, I went out and bought a
complete set of both metric and regular allens. His point
was that you are always going to need different ones for different
instruments so just get the set and stop bs'ing around.

It was good advice.

I bought a few sets (has both Standard and Metric) for like $2 at Wal-Mart and I keep them in my cases. I don't know the exact size but any set with smaller wrenches should have the right one in it. I doubt you will find the wrench by itself.

BA II uses 0.050" for the height adjustment. And what Thor said - get a set. I haven't found 0.050" around by themselves.

This response is far too reasonable
