Ha. Yeah. For me it is a mixed bag 1.5mm or 1/16in on pinion grubs? Same manu. Go figure. Be helpful if in specs for a pinion gear purchase, manus would specify what size tool is need for fastening. Heck. Maybe they don't even know or are unaware? Or, worse yet, don't care? 
I bit the bullet and bought an assortment of metric/USS in hopes of maybe finding a fit when needed?!.
Understand the frustration. Hang in there. Cheers. 'AC'

If I don't strip them, they seem to disappear on the garage floor. My overall lack of experience makes it a challenge to find replacements that work. Ugh. I just bought another pinion gear just for the grub screw.

Cool. Where do you buy these stateside? A quick google search led me to GS Model Engineers. I assume they are the supplier? Thanks!

Here's a link for what I use. The M2.5 to M4.6 measurements are about 90% of all the grub screws I use, and those are also the small ones that disappeared for me (and they still do
