Default Garmin Hex tool?
Anyone know of a good source for a 3/32" hex tool to actuate the Garmin GTN mounting mechanism for removal/insertion? My standard bent hex wrenches are too short. Figure they need to be at least 6-8" long to work. AviationDepot was no good.

If you have a Harbor Freight in the area, look for these:

Go to a hobby shop that caters to R/C folks.

You can find a screwdrive like Allen wrench there that is perfect for this.
