    How many torques are on that?

    Ideas:

    • Weld a nut onto the top of it. Should be able to accomplish this with a MIG and a steady hand
    • Cut a slot in the top with a rotary tool cutting wheel, use a large manual impact driver to crack it, or a dull chisel/flat punch and a hammer to tap it around (clearance might be an issue here)
    • Rotary tool again, cut faces on two sides, locking pliers, turn them with channel locks
    • Rotay tool yet again, cut faces on six sides, hammer a possibly sacrificial six point socket on it

          if they could all be the same size as i need for my fruit boots (4mm i think) that would be perfect.

          constantly losing those bastards.

              I feel like there should be some quotes in there. Damascus "Steel"

                For a minute I thought you were throwing shade at Damascus steel but then I realized that those Allen Wrenches are probably made of aluminum.

                  Nah my wife loves Forged in Fire too much for me to dare criticize Damascus, its way too cold in my neck of the woods to spend a night in the dog house... And we don't have a dog house.

                    They’re all the same, until they’re not. Some are extra long or specialized for the item being assembled. Sometimes they come with brothers.

                    I don’t know where they all go, but they’re here, somewhere.

                    I put together a chair for my mom and they included a consumer grade T-hex with a molded plastic and rubber handle. This was for a single $120 wooden chair. It's now in my toolbox next to my multi size hex key tool.

                      Last option is rotary tool again, grind that head clean off. If there's enough exposed shaft after the part removal then turn with vice grips. Hopefully you used brand name Loc-tite.

                      Otherwise its screw extract time. I suggest Micro-grabits. Only reliable option IME.

                        As long as it has a massive IKEA logo embossed (or with filigree) on there somewhere, you have my vote.

                          I have a drawer specifically for things that tighten or loosen fasteners.

                          I have one of those.

                          It's labeled "screw it."

                            bro, they should be sending me metric drill bits instead. Those fucking drywall anchors they send are always in metric and I can never find my metric drill set.

                                I have so many high quality hex wrenches now from work. I do not want the cheap ones, but I still feel bad throwing them away.

                                  Invest in good quality tools. Any tool that comes in a ziplock bag usual sucks

                                      I have even more than that. We regularly replace furniture at work and I end up with so many cheap tools. Once a year I put them in a box, hang a free take one sign and place it out front. It takes a day or two but they leave. Most likely it in their glove box in the car. They are not however in my office anymore.

                                        Put it in the recycle bin?

                                        I bought a set of Allen sockets years ago as well as an adapter so I can use a drill/impact with them too.

                                        The hell with spinning that crappy little piece of metal. Right into the bin they go.

                                        Also get either a 90 degree attachment or a right angle drill. Good for those spots when even an impact, or even sub compact impact, drill is just too big.
