Could one of the American guys please tell me what size hex key fits into the screws in the knobs? My knobs are loose and i don't wanna screw up on them, they are very pretty :).

You've got the pedal at hand... Maybe you should figure out what size screw driver or allen key to use for your knobs...

Get a set of imperial Allen keys. Get a set of metric Allen keys. Try both. Use the key that fits best (least amount of wiggle). Don't force anything. Job done, it's *insert name of favorite alcoholic beverage here* time.

I picked up a comprehensive combo set of both types at Harbor Freight for less than 10 bucks. Makes it harder to strip out truss rod adjusters.

Yes we have metric system here, i tried metric keys but they do more harm than good. That's why i was asking, and that's why i was asking Americans or whoever has got the non-metric system.

I don't have any of those knobs to check, but if you told us which metric keys to look between, like "1.5mm is too small and 2.0mm is too big" or whatever, we can figure out which imperial key you should look for.  But in the long run, it's nice to have a full set of both types.

Of course, you are right  :icon_redface:
1.5mm is about right just a hair smaller than it should be.
