...how many allen wrenches do you think you've accumulated from putting together various furniture?

Mid-50s here, and I'm thinking it's gotta be over 100 by now.

I'm 52, but I toss them whenever I move, so I only have allen wrenches for two desks I've bought in the five years I've lived in my current place.

Probably the most bizarre topic ever started on TexAgs. I bought a set of 10 maybe 40 years ago that I still have.

I think he's talking about the little cheap ones that come with a piece of furniture or a cat scratching post/tower or something.

This makes the thread no less bizarre.

I've thought about this too. For a while I was putting them in ziplock baggies. Not sure where those are now.

It's got to have been at least a few dozen.

Somebody got me a ratcheting screwdriver with 40 something bits just before my kids came along. Much easier than those knuckle busting throw away allen wrenches. That being said, I still think about keeping them, cause you just never know.

i got a light bar on my ATV that came with an allen wrench, or so i thought it was, so i threw it away after adjusting the lights. turns out, its an allen key with a pinhole in the middle. what i would do to the cock sucker that designed that.

46. I display them in a case in my entryway with fountain pen ink calligraphy on museum-quality paper detailing and authenticating the history of each item. It's often a conversation starter.

I just put together this past weekend a set of patio chairs and a table. If I had used the crappy "tools" they included in the set, I would have still been working on it. Threw them all away with the rest of the packaging when I was done.

If you meet any wenches named Allen, you probably should do the Crocodile Dundee check.

I actually threw away about 10 the other day that had accumulated in the bottom of my loose tool bag.
