Edit: 8mm tool

So since my multi-tool doesn't have a 8mm key for the Chris King funbolts I'm using, I have to carry a big old steel 10mm key that weighs like a pound and a half. Considering I'm already carrying like 5lbs of tools on my ride (leatherman, etc), I'd like to find something to lighten things up a big. I was thinking even a hardened polymer plastic the stuff they use in gun stocks would work since you don't place much torque on the bolts anyways....Any ideas?

My Cannondale Head Wrench comes with an 8mm (or is it 10mm???) attachment that fits over the 5mm Allen wrench to turn it into an 8mm Allen. Unfortunately, I don't think you can get this separately.

If you just need an 8mm Allen fitting and it can be plastic then someone with a mill can whip one together fairly easily for you.
