Allen wrenches
L-shaped hex drivers
Allen wrenches are L-shaped tools with hexagonal ends, used to drive bolts and screws with hexagonal sockets.
The bent shape provides leverage and reach into recessed spaces.
They come in sets of graduated sizes: I need the 4mm Allen wrench for this IKEA furniture.
Also called hex keys or Allen keys.
