Last week I adjusted the rod on an inexpensive Fender acoustic. I tried several sets of both imperial and metric, none of which seemed to fit as snuggly as I would have expected. Eventually used an imperial size that was the best fit. Turned out that the end of the nut's socket was probably flared slightly so that when the key was fully inserted, it was sufficiently snug.
Some inexpensive Allen keys are not accurately sized or have burrs on their ends that prevent them from fitting into the intended size of socket.
Sorry for the incorrect assumption regarding metric vs. imperial. But, that's a common one. Especially for me.
