Default When have you been happy you paid top dollar for tools?

OK I'm putting the fork legs back in my gasser and one of the allen bolts is stuck in the lower triple clamp.

I bought a set of Draper allen keys and the 4mm is just bending with the torque to get the bolt out, it is TIGHT.

So I'm very worried the bolt head will round and the bolt will be stuck so I pull out a hardened socket drive 4mm allen key. I attatch this to my socket and away we go - I was still worried the head would round but I got the bolt out and was very relieved! So I'm glad I paid top dollar for those allen sockets, when have you been glad you paid £££/$$$ for tools?

Tighten the bolt next to it a little and back each off a little at a time. When you reinstall put anti-seize all the way up to the head.
