    here’s a tip. take some painters tape and tape the tools to the bottom of the thing you put together so it’s always there when you need to tighten or dismantle it for moving.

    I hate that they include these. But only since I built a home with 2 workshops and filled them with quality tools. 20 year old me was thankful for these shitty Allen keys.

    I was shocked when i found a box full of them. Just couldn’t comprehend how many of them can be. Probably 50 if not more. If you pack it in a sock - it would knock someone out.

    And then my dad said - you think we bought all that furniture in one go? That shelf - one. That bookcase - one. That bed table - three and so on. Years later when we moved out to our new apartment and started buying new furniture - i noticed that these wrenches keep on piling up naturally.

    It’s just that I’m confused whether it goes in with the aluminum or unsorted trash, so I never throw it out.

    After doing a bunch of carpentry this year, now I have metric and imperial sets of nice long hex bits for my high torque impact driver.

    Something is gonna move, one way or another!
