Allen bolts (Hex bolts) are tightened using a hex key (Allen key). For proper fastening, the key size must perfectly match the bolt head. Using the wrong size can round the head, damage the tool, and reduce tightening accuracy.
Key Points to Know:
Each Allen bolt has a specific internal hex dimension.
Always use the exact key size, especially in high-torque areas.
Avoid worn or rounded keys to maintain grip.
A correct fit ensures clean torque transfer and longer bolt life.
Professional Tip:
If a bolt head begins to round, stop immediately. Switch to a fresh, sharp hex key or use penetrating oil before re-tightening. Prevention is always easier than extraction.
