Re: Friendly advice to new people: ball joint allen wrenches

As I read the topic title I thought "great, somebody warning against the use of them" I've been using allen heads for about 30 years in racing and in the first year I used the ball joint wrenches occasionally. I stopped using them after ruining several bolt heads. For my pistol I only use ...
