The kid (12 years old) has asked me to buy them their own set of Allen keys. Not sure where I went right there.

This is all motivated by archery. Modern target archery bows are covered in socket head cap screws, mostly (but not quite exclusively) in imperial sizes.
The kid has seen the Bondhus folding sets that I bought to take to the range in my quiver, has heard me mutter too many times about the false economy of making do with cheap and crappy tools, and has been admiring the sets of Wera ball end L-keys that I use at home. Consequently they have become unsatisfied with the zip lock bag of increasingly rusty loose unlabelled Allen keys that came with our equipment that I put in their quiver just in case.
Whenever they're shooting I am always on hand with the good Allen keys in case they ever need them, but apparently that is not good enough. Well, OK, I'm happy to start their personal tool collection with some decent Allen keys of their own.
@spacelizard make sure you get a set with *checks sight* a 7/64
@jpm Mmm, yes, the sight pin attachment on my sight uses an unusual sized grub screw. Possibly 7/64. I need to check that.
@spacelizard I had to buy a surprisingly large kit to get that size for one screw on my bow. Only figured it out when 3/32 was too small but 1/8 was too big.
