Ikea Fasteners

There's the common trope that Ikea furniture has special allen wrenches that are specific to just their flat-pack furniture. "That's why it comes with them. Make sure you don't get rid of them!"* sigh *One word: Metric.Just because you only have freedom unit wrenches doesn't mean that anything that isn't imperial is "special" in any way.I put together two things today. One used a 5mm wrench. The other a 4mm.Pro-tip: get an adapter for your drill (1/4" male hex to 1/4" or 3/8" square male socket) and a set of allen drive sockets.Your Ikea furniture will go together in record time.
