Why not simply re-face the end on a grindstone - good as new!
Been doing this for years, (doesn';t work for ball ended though of course!)

Just don';t overheat the end whilst doing it. Can get years of good service then.

Facom do 2 lengths of 1.5mm hex keys, but not T-bar style, but for 1.5mm a T-bar will allow too much torque to be generated so I find a ';screwdriver'; type is best.

However, I prefer Wiha hex keys as they have a shaped ball end to fit into the hex socket better, (they get into the corners better)

All 1.5mm keys available from RS here

OK so not what you might call great quality but Aldi are doing a multi bit screwdriver set on Sunday for about £10 that does contain the hex size you are looking for and normally their kit is reasonable quality and usually has a 2 or 3 yr guarantee.

Yes, quite, far too easy to exceed the max!!
