What The Heck Is....An Allen Key or Allen Wrench and How Do You Keep Them Organized
Channel: Small Workshop Guy
Date: 2021-02-06

Allen Wrenches which are also known as Allen Keys or Hex Key or Hex Wrenches tend to get spread all over the workshop and you can never find the size you need for the job at hand.  This video is about how to solve that problem for once and all time.  Just buy the Metric and the SAE versions that come from DeWalt and which are usable in their case.  Yea!   This is one of the videos from our "What the Heck Is... " video series - these are designed to be short and useful for beginning woodworkers.  Our plan is to have many of these available within a short period of time - check out the Playlist.
