I have a 1/8 Spintite. That is as far down as I go.

I’m not home at the moment, but I have a Britool BA sizes set, which I’m pretty sure goes down to at least 09 BA which on checking a chart on the internet measures 0.131 inches. I’ll check when I’m home whether it has the the 10 BA socket = 0.117 inches

I'm not rightly sure I understand what you're talking about but that sounds pretty small.

I have one of those micro sets you can buy on Amazon, it has a 2.5 mm socket (just over 3/32")  I actually used that socket to fix some frameless glasses.
Is that sockets or nut drivers ?

The kit was sitting in my desk at work, I didn't remember.  I looked at it today.  I guess it's not a socket per se, as it's driven by the standard 1/8 hex.

I figured that was likely the case.
Those tiny nut driver bits do look handy, if I had a need for them.

Like all tools, you never know if you need them until you do.  Fortunately at that size, high quality/strength is not an issue.
