The one I pulled and tried first was a 5.5mm, which seemed to fit pretty

goes all the way down to 1/8" and 4mm. :-)
Sears has given me a hard time more often than not in recent times, and
although I'll go there and buy tools it's not my first choice, if I have a
choice in the circumstances.

If you're talking about those hex-head
screws, my answer is simple:
Snap-On Tools! :-) I just pulled a 5.5mm nutdriver out of my toolbox,
and it fits the screw head quite nicely, and that's one of the recessed
ones.
Is it 5.5mm, or 7/32"? They use a
better grade of steel, and tend to be thinner for any given
size. One of the reasons I like 'em, the no-hassle warranty being
another one...
Well, even Sears will give you a lifetime supply of scrap metal, but at
least Snap-on tends to be decent quality.
