New Tool Day Allen Wrenches Galore!

7 Aug 2024

Well, here we are again more tools. I never can find the right Allen Wrench, well never again!! I just picked up the Bondhus 69600 ball end color set for metric, and US. I also uncovered in my garage my Xcelite 99PS-40 in the case!

At least now I know where the Allen Drives are!!

I like the color code idea. Unfortunately it is different from the resistor color code...

I paint the end of my drill bits with a color from the resistor code : )

e.g. if I have a 3.2 mm drill bit, then I paint the end with a brown paint marker, to represent the 2. Then I throw it into the bin labelled 3mm.

Hehe good point, I'd be stuck with those measurements! All I know is 1/4" is 6.35mm. Same with screws, I don't know the non-metric sizes. Had to buy some 6-32 screws the other day (to fit some PCB brackets) and didn't have a clue until they arrived, that it's something in-between M3 and M4.
