Don't misuse tools If you use the wrong tool, you can cause damage that makes a job take much longer! One hard to see detail is the difference between Allen wrenches and Torx wrenches. The Allen wrench fits into a hexagonal hole in the bolt or screw. The Torx wrench fits into a hole that looks more like a six sided star. Using the wrong kind of wrench can deform the hole to the point where the correct wrench will not work either.
