distant sounds of William Allen turning in his grave. Slowly, 40 degrees at a time
Unless it’s a 10mm, then it’s a universal constant for it to dissappear.
LPT: Tape the allen keys that comes with the furniture to its underside, so you have the exact right tool on the exact furniture you’re trying to disassemble later on in the same place.
The first time I tried this was with my kid’s crib. I ended up forgetting it was there and I had to borrow tools from the movers instead. I got most of the way through the disassembly before finding the hidden allen key and realizing I had outsmarted myself.
I keep. It’s metal, and I can’t make it. What if society collapsed? Then I’d regret throwing them all away! Same with extra screws, fasteners, dowels, and brackets.
I throw those to trash can the instant I see them. There’s no place for these shit quality bolt rounding tools in my house.
In my house we worship good quality tooling
I have found the tools are of higher quality that the fittings. the bolts always strip regardless of what tool is used.
I also usually tape the tools to the underside of the furniture to use should it need to be tightened or deconstructed for moving.
I like printing handles for them!
Who calls Allen keys hex wrenches?
They are cursed I say, hexed wenches!
Every home should at least have a couple where the bend is cut off and then you can use it in a drill or power driver
Edit: use a cut-off wheel or hacksaw
Brother, you can buy a full set of hex heads designed for use in your power tools.
Why would I do that when they’re handed out like free candy
