  • 00:00

    hey everyone I'm sound here in my cave with a tooltip about a class of tools

  • 00:06

    sometimes I'm revealing to you really cool tools that I like or tools you

  • 00:12

    might not know about things like Forstner bits etc however today I'm

  • 00:17

    gonna talk about a tool that we all have in our shop I'm just going to tell you

  • 00:21

    what I think the best version is and today we're going to talk about allen

  • 00:26

    wrenches allen wrenches are small hexagonal wrenches for unscrewing allen

  • 00:34

    screws and bolts there you go that's pretty straightforward now if you're

  • 00:39

    like me and let's go take a walk over here if you're like me you end up with a

  • 00:45

    lot of Allen wrenches because they often come with tools that you buy so here is

  • 00:50

    what a lot of people end up with in their shop is a collection of random

  • 00:55

    sizes of allen wrenches by the way the most common size that I have found

  • 01:02

    happens to be four millimeters four millimeter seems to be the one that

  • 01:05

    ships with every freaking tool but there are allen wrench sets you can buy

  • 01:10

    handheld sets long set short sets in all the time that I have been using Allen

  • 01:17

    wrenches I have a favorite kind and I'm gonna talk to you about it laid out in

  • 01:26

    front of me are a set of imperial bond whose tea handled Allen wrenches these

  • 01:34

    are the kind I learned to use in Jamie's shop he's had sets of these forever

  • 01:39

    since I worked with him for him in the early 90s and there's a couple of things

  • 01:45

    I really really liked about this number one even the small sizes I have not had

  • 01:51

    them stripout for the most part any allen key that fits a screw that you're

  • 01:58

    supposed to undo they will work they are made to varying manufacturing grades and

  • 02:04

    some are super close and some are not good for the most part they work just

  • 02:08

    fine but in the edge cases where you have a really recalcitrant

  • 02:12

    allen key or allen screw or a set screw that you've got to undo these bond hoes

  • 02:19

    I have never had a strip out on me I've never had their coroner's round I've

  • 02:24

    never had them break an Allen head um not to say that you can't do it I've

  • 02:30

    just said these are made of particularly hard steel and I really dig that too I

  • 02:35

    really like and I've get a lot out of the ball and the ball and allows you to

  • 02:41

    actually get purchase on an allen key from multiple angles rather than just

  • 02:45

    from right above it I also love the construction of these I like their

  • 02:53

    weight they feel substantial this is a piece of steel welded to the main shaft

  • 03:00

    and then Plasti Dip each type size is actually written on the side I will tell

  • 03:07

    you after several years that wears away Allen Allen wrenches are one of these

  • 03:13

    things it's like if I see a bolt in my car I can usually go get the right

  • 03:20

    socket for it but allen keys never ever ever do I grab the right Allen wrench

  • 03:24

    for the Allen Allen bolt ever ever it's always one size up or one size down um

  • 03:31

    there is a third thing that I love about these bond hose wrenches but first I'm

  • 03:35

    going to show you how much I love them because so when you're working on a tool

  • 03:42

    like a milling machine there are allen keys all over the

  • 03:47

    milling machine there are some in the vise and for adjustment and for actually

  • 03:53

    tramming it in allen keys are a totally critical tool so I actually keep the set

  • 03:58

    that's on the workbench right now this set actually lives here right on the

  • 04:02

    right side of my mill so I have constant access to them that's how important it

  • 04:07

    is to me for my flow state while machining have Allen wrenches nearby

  • 04:11

    it's also important to me when I'm using the lathe so I have a second set over

  • 04:17

    here at the lathe I know this seems really really indulgent it is one of the

  • 04:21

    things I spent TV money on back when I was making TV money

  • 04:25

    a full set of Imperial and metric Vaughn hose Allen wrenches but wait there's

  • 04:31

    more also within my first order retrieve

  • 04:36

    ability stack of mission-critical tools you will notice another set of Imperial

  • 04:40

    and metric allen keys made by bond host this is how much I truly love these keys

  • 04:47

    and to note I'll grab one of the big ones over here at the lathe on the lathe

  • 04:53

    I use slightly shorter ones this is another thing that I like about that

  • 04:58

    bond hose so there's the shorty here's a long e so you have a lot of options with

  • 05:06

    these this doesn't have the ball and that was less important on the lathe and

  • 05:11

    I use it but I told you there was one of the things that I loved about these

  • 05:16

    Bonzo's allen keys and it's this because of the sturdy hardy welded steel

  • 05:21

    construction and the heavy weight of this these make fabulous little

  • 05:27

    impromptu thwack errs yep in every bond hoose allen key there is a hammer and I

  • 05:34

    dig that about these in fact you can see how much on the lathe I use it as a

  • 05:39

    hammer is like I'm actually wearing away the Plasti Dip here because of how many

  • 05:44

    times I've whacked this I use these all over the place when you're clamping

  • 05:47

    something into a vise on the mill it's good to cut it a little hammer to make

  • 05:51

    sure it's sitting right on those parallels these are fabulous so look

  • 05:58

    with any tool I'm not saying these are the best ones that are made because your

  • 06:02

    particular use case might be way more specific than mine it might be very

  • 06:07

    different and maybe you need a lot of smaller Allen wrenches in which case you

  • 06:12

    can buy them down to surpassingly tiny sizes but for your basic shop set if you

  • 06:17

    can afford it these are my all-time favorite Allen wrenches thanks that's

  • 06:21

    another tool tip see you next time here at the cave bye everybody
