Especially since you say alan key doesn't do that. Alan keys are okay-ish when used on M5 and more. But stripping smaller screws than that is so common it's almost useless. Also good alan keys have a small ball bearing on them on the ball side which lets you hold the screw on it or "free spin" as you call it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] drkt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Maalus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Try a Wera, that's what I run now.
