Truss rod adjustment on Cruiser by Crafter

I can't work out the correct size  of Allen key. Tried metric and imperial. 

Is it a different shape? Maybe it's damaged?


Edit: Can't be bothered any more! I borrowed it from the charity shop I work at, so I'll just return it. I think the nut might need work too.

It should be 5mm I think but will probably be very stiff.

I just happen to have a Cruiser neck here and a 4 mm key fits it.

It's actually not a bad neck. The body wasn't much cop as I recall.

Are we talking acoustic or electric?

The one I've got is off a Strat style thing/

The truss rod nut is unusually deeply recessed. Might be why it's causing problems.

I assumed acoustic

It was a 1/2 scale Strat

Some Martins need an extra long shaft on the Allen key as the socket is recessed. Maybe the Crafter is the same?
