  This is not an Allen key, it’s an Innensechskantschlüssel nursing it’s Innensechskantnachwuchsschlüsselset.

    TIL “Inbus” is not really equivalent to Innensechskant, as it refers to a company that produces allen keys and has just become synonymous with it in German, like “Tempo” has for tissues.

      yeah, in my house we’d call them plus screwdrivers and stanley screwdrivers. i call them slot screwdrivers (probably, i’m typing not screwing) now, but thanks for that mindfuck dad.

  Why is the big key’s head so short? That looks borderline unusable.

    They make stubby allen keys for tight spots. I replaced a cooling fan on a Mazak cnc lathe a few weeks ago, and I’m glad I had a set of stubbies.

    What you see here are years of battle. The mother wrench has had to grind her horn shorter and shorter. A matriarch in her twilight years, but the call of life doesn’t stop in the wild.

    Until you need them, then they’re nowhere to be found, or only the wrong sizes
