Must-have tool accessory: hex wrench bits

Hex wrenches, aka Allen wrenches, need to go. Everything takes forever when you’re stuck using a hex wrench.

I made my own set of hex wrenches for a drill by cutting off the ends of several hex wrenches, but you can also buy these sets online for under $10.

Hex Wrenches vs Hex Wrench Bits

The ones you buy will have a 1/4″ hex shank, so they’ll also work in your impact driver. If you don’t already own a set, get one. You’ll be glad you did.

You’re welcome.
