I would like to see them included in things like the JMP where you have to have them to get the tool built/working but not for tools that need them just for maintenance/sharpening. -Rutager I would like to modify my previous vote.

I have a set of T handle allen wrenches in both metric and imperial. I sometimes bring my BCTW tools from the shop to the house "shop corner" and back again. For most things I prefer the T handle version to the itty bitty allen wrenches. That said when I forget to bring the T set, its nice that the itty bitty ones are there with the tool. It's also nice that there's an allen wrench that suits my needs be "there" when I take out my HP6 planes (the older ones) I also like when I take out my Festool TS55 saw that the allen wrench for the saw (to remove the blade) has a place on the saw for it. So here's my wish list.... 1. That future tools that need an allen wrench, have it incorporated within the design. (when aesthetically possible) 2. Sign me up for two sets of a nifty BCTW Allen Wrench Set (with case) in both imperial and metric. That would be the AWI-1 & the AWM-1? 3. Continue sending the .03 cents allen wrenches with the tools that don't incorporate them with the designs. (I know, I Know -and I still drive a gasoline powered car, but it does have better milage than Johns huge Tahoe!) Anyhow,,,,,,eventually I could gather all my excess allen wrenches -and yours and turn them into a work of art! -Roger . .

Between my Incra fences, all my Festools, equipment, handtools and not to mention anything I bought that needed put together, the top drawer in my tool box is filled with allen wrenchs. Even though I bought a complete set, I just can't throw out any allen wrenchs I get because I feel I might just need them. I vote for no more allen wrenchs.

I already have a gadzillion of the ones that shipped with previous tools along with sets in my tool bag/box. I cut the short leg off of one and put it in my PV-2 for using on the soles of the HP-6! I am still keeping my fingers crossed for a nice BCTW set though! -Rutager I’m okay without any more.

So let's vote--as responsible global citizens, (believe me it is not an economic decision, these things cost about .03 cents apiece). Should we always include an Allen wrench? Remember, we do listen. Look in your toolbox. Now vote.

You and your staff have done a stellar job taking care of us "Bridge Citizens"(will I have to take an oath?) I'm looking forward to the next set of tools. I also had a similar thought about the allen wrenches, since so many of your tools use them and since I'm always trying to one up Peter and Fred(who isn't!) How about a real nice set of handled allen wrenches, maybe in Rosewood or Black Chrome? -Rutager John,

Congrats! John Peter;
