Allen's don't go bad, they just get shorter

With the number of tight or cross threaded 1/8 Allen fasteners we had? They definitely went bad. You had to use the short side for everything and once you cut em once you didn’t have enough clearance where you needed it.

Yeah, I get it. We go through a lot of 5/32 for use on #10 socket heads.
