What to use in place of an Allen Wrench

Lacking an Allen Wrench?

You can still tighten or remove an Allen-head screw; just try different sizes of plain screwdrivers until you find one that fits the opening.

Or, if the Allen screw protrudes above the work surface, use a hacksaw to cut a slot in the top; then use a standard screwdriver to tighten or remove it.  Or grip the head of the screw with a pair of locking-grip pliers to loosen.
