    I like you, you're a good human. Saving this for if/when it needs to be replaced in the future.

    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.

      I keep them all in the hope that some day I can have someone forge a lifetime of Allen wrenches into a Damascus steel battle-axe

      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've got several of those little bastards. I feel the same way.

              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

                  Just purged about ten of these a couple of weeks ago.

                  That's when you'll discover you need them.

                    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.
