These kits aren't ever meant to cover every single possible contingency. They just cover a lot of bases.
It's just the sad fact that Americans are one of the precious delicate few countries in the world that still cling to SAE instead of widely-adopted Metric sizing. They love to wistfully wrench on grandpappy's old gas-guzzling clunker.
So if you need a metric fastener, GOOD LUCK finding one at your local hardware store. You have 90% SAE and 10% Metric, if you're lucky.
The only way to get most metric is to special-order it from the internet.
You seriously don't need a die for this. It's common for electricians to trim their longer standard outlet and plate holder screws down to the size they need. The ones in the package are not long enough, so a box of those is basically required for random job sites with old mashed up work.
Ace, Lowes, Home Despot...doesn't matter, it's 90% standard, 10% metric. And it's only the most generic metrics too. Forget about anything nuanced.
