minus-squarehemko@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up35arrow-down1·edit-22 months agoI throw those to trash can the instant I see them. There’s no place for these shit quality bolt rounding tools in my house. In my house we worship good quality tooling
minus-squareGreenKnight23@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up24arrow-down1·2 months agoI have found the tools are of higher quality that the fittings. the bolts always strip regardless of what tool is used. I also usually tape the tools to the underside of the furniture to use should it need to be tightened or deconstructed for moving.

minus-squaretiramichu@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·2 months agoI keep them. I recently sold a metal bed frame which was assembled with hex screws, and it was good to be able to include the hex tool that came with it, so the person who bought it had what they need to put it together again.
minus-squareLandless2029@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·2 months agoI tend to put them in a ziplock and tape/staple to the thing when I can. Often I forget about it until I have to take it apart. Move it around and bang there’s the tool
minus-squarecRazi_man@europe.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoI’m less concerned about the quality than the effort. Using an electric screwdriver will literally half the time it takes to make the furniture piece.
