    This is not an Allen key, it’s an Innensechskantschlüssel nursing it’s Innensechskantnachwuchsschlüsselset. Please stick to correct international naming conventions.

      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.

      EDIT: Turns out it’s the same in English, Allen is a company and the more generic term is hex key.

    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
