Does any one know where I can get a 4mm hex bit for a cordless screwdriver.
I had enough problems finding the English set, but now I need one specific
bit in Metric. I'd prefer the longer (~40mm) bit, but will settle for the
stubby (~20mm) unit that needs the magnetic holder.

Try a good bicycle shop. 4mm and 5mm hex fasteners are THE most
common sizes on modern bicycles.
They may have to order it.

May be a bit of a kludge, but you can get a hex to 1/4" square drive adapter
and a set of 1/4" hex socket wrenches, both English and metric, from auto
parts stores like NAPA or probably from Sears. This would give you lots of
size options as well as the capability to use them with your socket set.

4mm is 0.158 in. 5/32 is 0.156 in. If you can't get
the 4mm, a 5/32 will often substitute.

Maybe I wasn't clear. I'm not looking for a socket, but a metric hex key
like bit for cap screws.
But I never checked for a 1/4" socket one. I have plenty of hex to socket
adapters.
