My dad does this, we have functional tools, he won’t use them.
I always lose them.
“Always two there are, no more no less. A master and an apprentice.”
I had a neighbor that didn’t have a job so would try to find creative ways to get money. He tried selling a drawer full of rusty Allen wrenches on Facebook for $100.
I don’t think it sold…
Should’ve sold them as “metal scraps”, he would’ve find an hobbyst blacksmith i guess
(Or maybe not because they would search for a specific metal…)
I do the same, but with those keys that come with the phones. Well, I actually needed them in the end.
Save them, but not in a big drawer. Every time you need an Allen key for something specific, tape it to it or store it with the item. For example my dining room table has the Allen for the bolts it uses taped to the underside of the table. Something feels wobbly, easy fix. No need to hunt a specific key out of the tool box.
I have a proper set of keys and masking tape anything that comes with a kit
I used to do this. Then I got a nice set of Allen and torx keys. I don’t keep disposable shit anymore, I keep good, organized tools.
Wanna show us your nice set?
I have a great set as well, but that doesn’t mean I want to go to my tool chest to grab them.
Tossed in the kitchen drawer that has all the odds and ends in it.
I feel attacked.
build a shield out of all of those Allen wrenches.
but I might need to use them
Buy Wera or another really nice HQ set of these and you’ll never need another one again.
well, you should buy two sets, because you might lose one…
And so it begins.
It lives with its brethren in a shoebox on a shelf in my garage. Every once in a while, I try to remove duplicates which I will eventually probably scrap.
